To determine how many quarters make an ounce of silver, we first need to know the silver content of a quarter. A standard U.S. quarter (post-1964) contains no silver, while pre-1965 quarters are 90% silver, weighing approximately 6.25 grams. Since an ounce is about 28.35 grams, it would take roughly 4 pre-1965 quarters to equal one ounce of silver.
625 grams is the weight of 100 silver U.S. quarters.
U.S. quarters minted before 1965 weighed 6.25 grams and contain 90% silver, which comes out to 5.625 grams of silver per coin. One ounce is about 28.35 grams, so it would take five quarters to get one ounce (5.04 coins, to be more exact).
Current clad quarters (1965 and later) weigh 5.67 grams. Silver quarters, minted from the mid-1870s until 1964, weighed 6.25 grams.

It shouldn't. Old silver quarters weigh 5.83 grams, nickel quarters weigh 5.05 grams, and modern steel quarters weigh 4.4 grams.
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.
A quarter weighs 5.67 grams. So five clad quarters would equal one standard ounce.
