Yes, if a coin is a copy, it likely means that it is not made of silver or any other precious metal. Copies are usually made from cheaper materials to mimic the appearance of the original coin without the intrinsic value. It is important to be cautious when dealing with copies, especially if you are looking for genuine silver coins.

What is the value of a 2004 silver quarter- pure silver printed on side- Has S mint mark and has Washington DC on the back I- t is stamped with copy on Washington's head?

The word "COPY" on your coin means it is not a real US coin and has no numismatic value. These coins are made by private companies and sold for profit. The only value they have is the metal they are made from. If it is pure silver then it is worth whatever the silver in it is worth. Not knowing how much your coin weighs, there can be no estimate of value.
