None of the bicentennial quarters made for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more. All the 40% silver coins do have "S" mintmarks.

Silver content of 1776-1976 quarter?
These coins were issued in celebration of the Centennial and show a bobcat (lynx) rather than a cougar. They were originally struck in an alloy of 80% silver and 20% copper but halfway through the year rising silver prices forced the Royal Canadian Mint to debase the coins to 50% silver.
