Circulating state quarters minted at Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) are made of copper-nickel and don't have any silver at all.
Beginning in 1992, some proof-quality State Quarters were struck in 90% silver for sale in special "Prestige" sets. These carry an S mint mark and are intended for collectors and investors, not for spending.
Each of the new SILVER quarters struck in San Francisco (States, Territories and National Parks) weighs about 6.250 grams and is 90% silver. A quick calculation tells us that each set of 5 of these new quarters will contain just short of 1 ounce of silver (6.250g x .90=5.265g silver per coin. 5.265g=.19oz. silver. .19oz x 5 coins = .95oz. silver per set of 5) This is not EXACT but close enough for most people.
Hope this answers your question a little better.
