They stopped putting silver in quarters in 1975. So any 1974 quarter and older contains silverWHOA THERE! that is absolutely incorrect friend. 1964 was the last year circulating quarters were 90% silver or ASW= 0.18084 tr ozhowever there were 40% silver quarters in mint and proof sets in 1976. they have an s mint mark and came with a kennedy 40% silver half dollar and a 40% silver eisenhower dollar.in 1992 the mint began making 90% silver quarters again. they have a s mint mark and are part of an annual silver proof set. the us mint is still minting them to this day.
If by "type" you mean design or metal content, all U.S. quarters dated 1964 are made of 90% silver / 10% copper and have the same design. The only difference is whether there's a mint mark under the bow of the wreath on the back side.
See if it has an "S" mint mark. If it does then it's a mint proof and it will be silver clad. No "S", no silver.
