The 1962 quarter is composed of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel, so it is not silver. To check if a quarter is silver, you can use a magnet - if it sticks, it is not silver; if it doesn't, there's a higher chance it is silver. You can also look for the coin's mint mark on the back above the "E" in "QUARTER" to determine its composition.


How can you tell if your 1969 quarter is silver?

It isn't. No 1969 quarters are silver. Silver quarters were only made in 1964 and before. All quarters from 1965-present are copper-nickel. There isn't even a 1969 commemorative quarter that was struck in silver. There is no possible way for it to be silver.
