The U.S. Bicentennial was in 1976 (remember when the Declaration of Independence was?)You have an ordinary silver quarter from an ordinary year. It's worth about $3 for its silver content.Bicentennial coins found in circulation are dual-dated (1776-1976) and are made of copper-nickel, not silver, so they're only worth face value.
Your question really needs to supply the coin's denomination to receive an accurate answer, but briefly: Assuming you found it in circulation, a cent or nickel from 1962 is only worth face value despite being nearly 50 years old. A dime, quarter, or half dollar will be worth 6 to 8 times face value, depending on the current price of silver.
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.
