If the quarter has an "S" next to the tail of Washington's wig and does not have the normal copper edge of a quarter found in pocket change, it's almost certainly a so-called "Prestige" quarter that someone accidentally spent.
These coins were only sold to collectors and weren't intended for spending It was worth about $8 in its original packaging but if you got it in change as of 02/2011 it's worth about $5 to $6 for its metal content.
If your coin has a P or D next to Washington's wig, or has an S but shows a copper edge, it's not silver. It's made of copper-nickel like almost all other quarters minted since 1965. With a P or D it has no added value. An S indicates it was a proof coin that someone spent. That which reduces its original $1.15 collector value to, well, roughly a quarter.
Any silver (pre-1965) US quarter is currently worth at least $5 for its silver content. Then collector value above that depends on factors like the date and condition.
Silver prices have been dipping over the last few weeks, so the current melt value of a US silver quarter (minted before 1965) is a little under $6.
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.
The US never minted a $2 coin. But they did mint quarter eagles ($2.5)
Unless it is in a mint set, if it is dated 1965 or later, it is only worth face value. If it is dated 1964 and before, it is 90% silver worth about $5 for the silver value with additional premiums depending on the year.
as of 2009 between 60- 3000.00 dollars
The silver value is about $6.00. NOTE: The US has never made a pure silver quarter, they are 90% silver & 10% copper.

This quarter in circulated condition has a value from about $3.50 to $12 depending upon the actual condition of the coin. In uncirculated condition its value ranges from about $14 in the lower grades to about $75 in the better grades of uncirculated.
Pre-1965 US quarters are 90% silver with a value of about $2.50 just for the silver.
Any silver (pre-1965) US quarter is currently worth at least $5 for its silver content. Then collector value above that depends on factors like the date and condition.
A 1942 Washington quarter is common. If it has any wear, the value is just for the silver, about $3.50.
August 1, 2009 The US Mint has not issued a quarter with an "M" stamped on it. Probably what you have is a quarter that someone has put their initial on or marked it for some reason. With such a mark it has no numismatic value but is worth $2.52 for the silver it contains.
about $6.50-$7.50

Sorry! The US mint never made solid silver coins.
No 1972 US quarters have silver in them, the last year for silver quarters was 1964. so spend it
