They stopped putting silver in quarters in 1975. So any 1974 quarter and older contains silver

WHOA THERE! that is absolutely incorrect friend. 1964 was the last year circulating quarters were 90% silver or ASW= 0.18084 tr oz

however there were 40% silver quarters in mint and proof sets in 1976. they have an s mint mark and came with a kennedy 40% silver half dollar and a 40% silver eisenhower dollar.

in 1992 the mint began making 90% silver quarters again. they have a s mint mark and are part of an annual silver proof set. the us mint is still minting them to this day.
