No US quarters dated 1966 are silver. The only US quarters struck in silver are dated 1964 or before with the exception of silver proof sets (most proof sets are -not- silver and silver proof sets are marked as silver) but those are dated from 1992-present.
If it's dated 1964 or earlier, it contains 90% silver with 10% copper. If it's dated after 1964, it contains no silver.
If you have a U.S. silver dollar dated 1790, then you have a counterfeit. The mint did not start making silver dollars until 1794
1964 dated half dollars, quarters and dimes are 90% silver. 1965-1970 dated half dollars are 40% silver. Dimes and quarters dated 1965-present contain no silver Half dollars dated 1971-present contain no silver. No US coin dated 1971 (that was intended for circulation) contained any silver at all. No nickels except those made during WWII contain any silver at all.
Yes, if they are dated 1935 or earlier they have 90% silver.
take your coin to your local coin shop (not pawn shop) For US coins: > dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver > $1 coins dated 1935 and earlier are also 90% silver > half dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver > nickels dated 1942-45 with a large mint mark are 35% silver (NO other nickels have silver!) For Canadian coins: > dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars dated 1967 and earlier are 80% silver > some 1968 coins are 50% silver
If the quarter or dime is dated 1964 or earlier, it's 90% silver with 10% copper. If it's dated 1965 or later, there is absolutely no silver in it.
U.S. dimes dated 1964 and earlier contain 90% silver with 10% copper. Dimes dated 1965 and after contain absolutely no silver.
The US didn't make any silver coins in 1979. The last circulating silver dimes and quarters were dated 1964, and the last silver halves made for circulation were dated 1969.
Please check again and post a new question. The last $2 silver certificates were dated 1899. The last silver certificates of any denomination were dated 1957. No US bills were dated 1964.
No such coin exists. Silver dimes were produced for circulation dated 1964 and earlier. Silver proof sets started being sold to collectors starting in 1992. There is no 1985 dated silver dime.
All U.S. quarters dated 1964 and earlier contain silver.
