The U.S. quarter from 1932 to 1999 all have the same Washington head/eagle reverse design.
You can test if a quarter is real silver by using a magnet; silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not real silver. You can also look for the date on the coin: quarters minted before 1965 are made of 90% silver, while those minted after are made of a copper-nickel alloy.
The first US quarter was made in 1796, look at the coin and post new question.
A quarter is made of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel. However, before 1965 quarters were made of silver.
Quarters are made out of an alloy (a mixture of metals) of 91.67 percent copper and 8.33 percent nickel (before 1965, the quarter was made out of silver).
All quarters dated 1964 and before are made of 90% silver alloyed with 10% copper
Quarters (those dated 1964 and before) were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper.
There were no Chargers made from 1960-1965
A quarter from 1789 does not exist, the first one was made in 1796 and if you look under the AIRPLANE the date is 2001, spend it.
It looks like a giant washington head made out of cheese
Silver, but they now make quarters out of copper and nickel so if you have a quarter that was made before 1965 keep it!!
The first quarter was made by the Philadelphia Mint
Washington quarters had their mint marks on the back until 1964. Look under the bow of the wreath, above the R in the word QUARTER. If there is no letter, the coin was made in Philadelphia. A D means Denver. (Quarters before 1955 were also made in San Francisco, "S"). 1964 quarters were made by the billions, so they are only worth what a metal dealer will pay for their silver content.
