Yes, it can also contain silver. Experts can tell by holding the coin & observing its edge & by its weight. Clad coins are usually lighter

What does pscl 925 on a platinum ring mean?

PSCL is an jewelry company out of Dublin, Ireland. The 925, you may find upsetting on a 'platinum' ring, as 925 is the designation for sterling silver (having a 92.5% silver content). To take the disappointment level down one more level I believe "PSCL" is short for silver clad or silver plated. Meaning not even solid sterling. PSCL doesn't mean clad or plated. If it says 925 it cannot be clad or plated. PSCL is the name of the designer or manufacturer.

Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?

No, clad is used in the coin collecting community talking about the Copper and Nickel "sandwich" current, non-silver, coins have. So a clad quarter by definition would not have any silver because a clad quarter is a quarter with no silver. However, quarters were made of silver before 1965 so any quarter dated 1964 and earlier contains 90% silver, but those coins would not be considered "clad".

What is a 1964 clad quarter worth?

It is unlikely that you have a clad 1964 quarter, all quarters dated 1964 should be 90% silver, not the copper-nickel clad of 1965-present. Look on the rim of your coin, if it is a solid color (usually solid white but silver tones easily to different colors) it is silver, if it has a line of copper through it it is clad (compare it with a quarter from your pocket change). If it is clad, it is an error and worth quite a bit of money. If it is silver it is worth about $6 for the silver content.
