No, clad is used in the coin collecting community talking about the Copper and Nickel "sandwich" current, non-silver, coins have. So a clad quarter by definition would not have any silver because a clad quarter is a quarter with no silver. However, quarters were made of silver before 1965 so any quarter dated 1964 and earlier contains 90% silver, but those coins would not be considered "clad".

If it is clad, it is an error and worth quite a bit of money. If it is silver it is worth about $6 for the silver content.
