The last silver quarters were minted in 1964.
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".
All of the quarters struck for circulation from 1965 to date, have NO silver and are just quarters.
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.
