Best Answer

US quarters were never made of solid silver. They always contained about 10% copper so they wouldn't wear down too quickly in circulation.

Common date silver quarters (~1940 to 1964) are valuable mostly for their metal content. They contain about 0.18 of a troy ounce of silver so you'd need the current price of raw silver to get an idea of the melt value. While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as kitco.com, CNNMoney, etc. for the latest spot prices.

For older coins, you need to know the date and mint mark to determine their collector value.
