Clad Quarters have copper, and silver color on the edge. 1965- Current are copper clad. Only on half dollars did they make 40% silver coins from 1965-1970.
No circulating US Coins were ever made of solid silver. They had 10% copper in them to make the metal hard enough to resist wear. 90% Silver Quarters are silver colored on the edge. Some may have toning. 90% Silver Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars, and Dollars were minted until 1964. Some special current coins are silver, but are only in silver Proof Sets, and cost more than a regular Clad Set. Some Eisenhower Dollars from San Francisco have 40% silver content.

Will a magnet be able to tell if its gold or silver?
No, magnets are useful for finding iron, but almost all other metals do not respond to magnets. Gold and silver are equally non-magnetic. However, there are lots of other differences that would enable you to distinguish between gold and silver. Even if you have an alloy of gold and silver, you can tell how much of it is gold and how much of it is silver, by analysing the density of the alloy. Gold is much denser than silver.

How can you tell the difference between a silver penny and a steel penny?
It's easy! Pennies were never made of silver. They would be worth way more than a cent. Steel pennies were made in 1943. So if you have a penny that was minted in 1943 it's not silver but rather steel.
Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?
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".

How do you tell the difference between silver clad composition and copper-nickel clad of 1970s silver dollars?
Circulation strikes of silver-clad halves ended in 1969. Additional clad halves were minted for collectors in 1970, 1975, and 1976 but were only available in special sets:1970-D: sold in Mint Sets1970-S: sold in Proof sets1975 and 1976: sold in 3-coin Bicentennial sets including a quarter and dollar as well. All carry an "S" mint mark and the dual date 1776-1976 regardless of the year of mintingAny silver-clad Bicentennial coins that may have accidentally ended up in circulation (e.g. if a set was broken up and spent) can be identified by looking at their edge. Cupronickel versions show the familiar pure copper core, while the copper/silver core of silver-clad coins appears as a dirty gray color.

How do you tell if a quarter is silver?
the edges will be all silver instead of the a normal quarter that is copper with nickel platingYes, but ...The most general way is by date. All quarters dated 1964 and earlier are made of 90% silver alloy, and all circulating quarters dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel clad composition (NOT nickel plating; there's a major difference). The US has struck quarters in silver since 1965, but all of these carry an S mint mark and were made for inclusion in special collectors' sets. Specifically, some 1776-1976 Bicentennial quarters were made of a 40% silver clad composition, and since 1992 90% silver composition has been used in special "Prestige" proof coins.

How can you tell a silver Kennedy half from a clad?
By its date: 1964 halves were made from an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. 1965-69 coins are technically clad coins, but were made with outer layers of 80% silver and an inner core of 20% silver that resulted in an overall composition of 40% silver, 60% copper. 1970 halves were only released in collectors' sets 1971 and later halves made for circulation and most proof sets are copper-nickel clad. The ones sold in special "Presitige" sets are 90% silver but they do not circulate.
1977 Kennedy half dollar that rings like it has silver in it could this be true?
No 1977 halves were struck in silver. It's also very difficult to tell by a coin's ring because clad coins are frequently irregular internally due to thickness differences that occur as the clad stock is rolled out. Look at the coin's edge. If it's copper-colored like the edge of a quarter or dime, you have an ordinary copper-nickel circulation half that's worth face value.
