Silver "war nickels" weigh 5 grams, which is the same amount as the normal cupronickel coins minted all other years since 1866.
War nickels were the only US nickels that ever contained silver. They were minted from mid-1942 to the end of 1945 to save nickel metal for use in the war effort. They were struck in an alloy of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese.

What percentage of silver is a 1964 quarter that appears to have a copper layer?
No 1964 silver quarter should have a copper layer and they all should be 90% silver, although it is possible that your quarter has tarnished or toned odd and just appeared to look non-silver. Both copper-nickel clad and silver quarters were produced in the mid-1960s with the clad ones being dated 1965 and later while the silver ones were dated 1964, so theoretically it could be struck on a copper-nickel planchet. I would weigh the coin, a silver one should weigh about 6.25 grams (naturally a worn quarter would weigh less) while a copper-nickel one should weigh much less, about 5.67 grams.
