The last silver quarters were minted in 1964.
All of the quarters struck for circulation from 1965 to date, have NO silver and are just quarters.
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".
You can tell a coin is silver by either looking at the edge and finding it a uniform silver color (with no darker colors) or by finding a dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar with a date from before 1965. They now make silver versions of the dime, quarter and half, but only in proof sets.
Pre-1965 silver quarters are 90% silver with a total weight of 6.25 grams, which is then 5.625 grams of silver per quarter.
A 90% US silver quarter contains .18084oz of pure silver, or 5.12672 grams. All quaters before 1965 had this 90% composition.
If it's a US quarter minted in 1965 or later, it's not silver (there are silver coins minted in "proof sets", but these came in a special labeled display case; you're not going to find one in pocket change). US quarters minted in 1964 or before were partly (about 90%, I think) silver.
Not in a US quarter, although a 1965 Canadian quarter is 80% silver.
You can tell if a dime or quarter is silver by checking the year minted. Dimes minted before 1965 and quarters minted before 1964 are made of 90% silver. You can also conduct a magnet test - if the coin is attracted to a magnet, it is not silver.
