Yes. US dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier, as well as silver dollars dated 1935 and earlier, are made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper.
A 90% silver quarter contains about 0.18 of a troy ounce of silver, and its value as scrap metal will change along with precious metal prices.
