"Melt Value" refers to the value of the silver content at the current "spot" or raw silver price on the commodities market. These values change daily. If you can find a market quote for current one-ounce of silver, multiply that by 0.18084 (which is the pure silver weight) to get the value of one US Quarter dollar coin. Note that most such quarters were minted with dates BEFORE 1965 (with the few exceptions of some Proof Coins minted since the 1980's).

Unfortunately not. The quarters you are thinking of are most likely the 1932-1964 Washington head quarters. These quarters were minted using approximately 90% silver and 10% copper. The overall weight of the coin is about 6.25 grams therefore using todays silver price ($17.25 USD/oz.) theoretically the coin has a melt value close to $3.15USD. Finding these quarters still in circulation is rare and depending on the condition of the coin, you may have better luck selling it to a collector rather than trying to sell the coin for its melt value.

Which quarter contains the most silver?

All US quarters minted from 1873-1964 contain the same amount of silver. And all silver proof quarters (1992-present) contain the same amount of silver (keep in mind that coins you find in your pocket change made from 1965-present contain no silver) there was a special silver bicentennial quarter made that only contained 40% silver (keep in mind that the bicentennial quarters you find in change contain no silver) but other than that the silver level has remained constant for all silver quarters. The quarters before 1873 contained different levels of silver, but such coins are collectable and worth more than melt value.
