If by "type" you mean design or metal content, all U.S. quarters dated 1964 are made of 90% silver / 10% copper and have the same design. The only difference is whether there's a mint mark under the bow of the wreath on the back side.
Unfortunately not. The quarters you are thinking of are most likely the 1932-1964 Washington head quarters. These quarters were minted using approximately 90% silver and 10% copper. The overall weight of the coin is about 6.25 grams therefore using todays silver price ($17.25 USD/oz.) theoretically the coin has a melt value close to $3.15USD. Finding these quarters still in circulation is rare and depending on the condition of the coin, you may have better luck selling it to a collector rather than trying to sell the coin for its melt value.
None of them quite honestly. The only ones that have value over face are proof coins and error coins. It is possible that state quarters still in mint rolls may be worth a premium to collectors, but unless you have an error coin, you aren't going to find any quarters dated 1965 and later to be worth more than face value.
Plenty. But they're from Canada, not the U.S. All U.S. quarters with those dates are part of the SQ series.
Most Bicentennial quarters are worth at least $5 in Mint State. Any piece in circulated condition is generally only worth its face value. In other words, 25 cents. Bicentennial quarters were made to commemorate America's 200th birthday.
Any quarters minted before 1965 contain 90% silver and are worth several times face value.
1965. Any US quarters dated 1964 or earlier are 90% silver.
Any US quarter minted in 1964 or earlier is 90% silver.
Leaving aside any numismatic or (for coins issued in 1964 or before) silver value, 20 quarters equals 5 dollars.
No. After 1964 all quarters were made with copper and nickel.
Cupro-nickel. PS Any idea how this came up on the algebra board?
US quarter dollars issued through 1964 were 90% silver. Quarters issued from 1965 onward (except for some proof coins made for collectors) contain no silver.
Technically they are worth 25 cents. 1964 was the last silver was used to make quarters. So unless they're uncirculated or proof no, they're worth 25 cents.

1932 to 1964 Washington Quarters were made up of .900 silver and .100 copper. They have 0.18084 oz of silver in them. This is why it is very rare to every find a quarter that is any older than 1965 in pocket change. It is worth a little over $4 depending on the spot price of silver.
All circulation-strike quarters dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel. They don't contain any silver. The only silver quarters struck since 1964 have been special proof coins made in San Francisco for inclusion in collectors' sets.

They stopped putting silver in quarters in 1975. So any 1974 quarter and older contains silverWHOA THERE! that is absolutely incorrect friend. 1964 was the last year circulating quarters were 90% silver or ASW= 0.18084 tr ozhowever there were 40% silver quarters in mint and proof sets in 1976. they have an s mint mark and came with a kennedy 40% silver half dollar and a 40% silver eisenhower dollar.in 1992 the mint began making 90% silver quarters again. they have a s mint mark and are part of an annual silver proof set. the us mint is still minting them to this day.
