All quarters from 1796 to 1853 contain 6.1 grams of silver 1853 to 1964 contain 5.6 grams of silver Some of the 1976 bicentennial issue quarters are partial silver -- 2.3 grams Lastly there are silver proof state quarters that contain 5.6 grams of silver. Excessively worn coins will have some of the silver worn away. If you have a pile of 1964 & older quarters and want to find the silver content, weigh the pile -- remembering to weigh them in TROY ounces -- then take the total weight and multiply by .9 -- this will give you the weight of the silver contained in the pile.
