Assuming you mean a quarter that is normally struck, but is missing the outer silvery-colored layer ... If it is a state quarter, these have been selling in the $300-$400 range. If it is an older quarter, these have been selling for about $50
The coin was struck over a 1941 Canadian quarter. It takes a keen eye to see the print of the Canadian coin on the American coin. A 1941 Canadian quarter was made of silver and the American quart was a clad coin (copper line in the reeded edge). So, it would seem finding silver 1970-D (no copper line) would be easier to see than the faint imprint of the Canadian quarter.
That will depend on what type of misprint it is. It could be worth only a few cents or several dollars, but is unlikely to make a significant contribution to your retirement fund.
If it's so worn that you can't make out the year, it's only worth its metal content. If it's an old silver coin, it might be worth $2.50 or so as scrap. If it's a modern copper-nickel quarter that is that worn down, it's only worth a quarter.
If you mean a US quarter dated 1962 it's not sterling silver, it's coin silver (.900 silver & .100 copper) and value as of today is $3.25 just for the silver
Would have to know WHY it is copper. In the 1940's there was no copper core in the quarter, so it can't be a lamination error. If it was struck on a cent planchet, it would be obviously undersized and worth up to $150. If struck on a planchet intended for some foreign coin, it could be worth several hundred dollars but it would be very difficult to locate an interested collector. If it just has a copper color because a high school physics class was experimenting with electroplating (my class only used dimes and pennies) or has had a reaction to contact with some chemical it is still worth about $.75 to melt for the silver content.
A 1944 copper misprint wheat penny is worth 1,000,000 dollars.
how much is a 1917 quarter dollar with the misprint word trvst on it worth today
the misprint will increase the value, but not by much. the coin is most likely worth $12

It is very very rare for a solid copper quarter worth maybe $800 +
It is worth nothing. You could try and take the two headed coin to a coin expert. But it is just a misprint.
Quarters from 1983 are still worth 25 cents.
Yes, in 1965 some coins were made like that, in error, of course. A blank planchet from 1964 was stamped in 1965, resulting in a silver 1965. It's also possible that the coin was plated. Get a good scale; a silver quarter weighs about 6.25 gm while a plated copper-nickel quarter would weigh about 5.7 gm. FWIW, it wouldn't be a "misprint" though, it would be a "mis-strike". Bills are printed, coins are struck or minted.
A quarter never had 25 cents worth of copper in it. Quarters used to be made of roughly 25 cents worth of silver, but are now made of mostly copper due to cost reasons. The fact remains that a quarter is still worth 25 cents, and if you should so wish you could go and buy 25 cents worth of copper with it (a little more than two ounces of copper). Sorry I ment to say a quarter used to have 25 cents worth of silver in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off? I will reenter the question. Thanks.
It's worth a quarter because we trust the economy and believe it to be a quarter. Although the physical value is not worth a quarter, it's still worth a quarter. So no you're not getting ripped off.
The 2006 quarter is composed of a core of pure copper with outer layers of copper-nickel. If there was truly no copper then there would be no coin. If the usual copper line is missing from the edge of the quarter it is not because there is no copper in it but because as the blank quarter was stamped out of the sheet of metal, the outer layers containing the nickel were "smeared" over the edge of the blank quarter by the cutting die and concealing the customary copper band. Scraping the edge of the coin would reveal the copper.
It depends on what you mean by "misprint" post new question.
