How many silver quarters to make 1 ounce silver?

A quarter weighs 5.67 grams. So five clad quarters would equal one standard ounce.

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).

US silver quarters weighed 6.25 gm. If you're referring to standard American weights, 1 ounce is 28.35 gm so it would take just under 5 quarters to equal an ounce.
