A silver QUARTER is about $3.00 as of today.
$1.29 per ounce there are 0.18 troy oz (5.6 grams) of silver in a 1964 quarter. Therefore one ounce culd make about 5 quarters. After the price of silver was deregulated in the mid-1960s it cost the mint more than 25 cents to mint a quarter and more than 10 cents to mint a dime, which is why they stopped using silver and started using copper and nickel.
how much is the price of silver now?
You don't have a pure silver quarter as the US has never minted a pure silver (99.9% pure or higher) silver quarter. Instead what you have is a 90% silver quarter which would be dated 1964 or prior. The value depends on a number of factors including the date, the mintmark and the condition. But a silver quarter is worth $5-6 in scrap silver regardless of type or condition, however some quarters can be worth significantly more.

U.S. quarters, starting from 1932, are called "Washington quarters." Washington quarters dated from 1932 to 1964 are made with 90% silver and 10% copper, and weigh 6.25 grams. The value of the metals depends on the market price of silver and copper. As of October 5, 2007, the value of the silver in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is $2.41 (market price of silver $13.39 per ounce) and the value of the copper in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is about a half of a cent, giving the total value of a pre-1964 Washington quarter about $2.42. If the coin is rare, and/or is in mint like condition, it could be worth significantly more. None of the 1944 Washington quarters (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints) are rare, but if the coin is in mint state, it would be worth about $35.
1932 - 1964 Silver Quarter is 90% silver Quarters after 1964 are copper nickel clad, there is no silver. only the 1/2 dollars or "50 cent" pieces from 1965-1970 are 40% silver. There was a 1976 silver quarter as well as the proof silver state quarters.
1932 to 1964 Washington Quarters were made up of .900 silver and .100 copper. They have 0.18084 oz of silver in them. This is why it is very rare to every find a quarter that is any older than 1965 in pocket change. It is worth a little over $4 depending on the spot price of silver.
The value depends on the silver price, today it is worth around $4.94, but will change as silver prices change.
