It depends on the silver content and current silver price. Most silver quarters (pre-1965) are usually worth more for their silver weight than their face value of 25p (or collector value, unless it’s rare). If the quarter isn’t a key date or in exceptional condition, selling it by weight to a silver buyer typically gets you the best return.

Depending upon the condition of the coin-how close to 'new' does it look?- it is probably only worth its weight in silver, which is calculated in the daily spot price of silver bullion.CorrectionThere's no such coin as a "silver buffalo quarter". The buffalo design was used on nickels from 1913 to 1938 and again in 2005 (but very much revised), and all of those nickels were struck in an alloy of nickel and copper. Silver quarters either had a picture of Miss Liberty or George Washington. Please check your coin again and post a new question with its denomination and date.
It depends on what kind of silver you are asking about. Silver coins and bullion that are .999 fine silver are worth the most. Silver US dollars, halves, quarters and dimes minted before 1965 are 90% pure and command a good price also. Sterling silver, which is 92 1/2% pure is worth a little less. Antique sterling was worth considerably more than the silver content a while back, but for the most part that has changed... Between a completely crashed antiques market and a sky high silver price, you are generally better off selling sterling for the silver content by weight. Silver plated items have a microscopic amount of actual silver and are pretty much worthless these days. To get an accurate idea of what your silver would sell for, you can look for the website for the Silver and Gold Exchange. There is a button on their webpage named "Live Price Chart" that shows an up to the minute listing of all kinds of silver items and what they are currently paying. If you Google "Silver and Gold Exchange" you will find them. They also have a very good article on how to tell if your items are sterling silver or silver plated in their "Education" section under "Is It Sterling?".
