U.S. quarters dated 1964 or earlier are 90% silver and 10% copper, they contain .18084oz of pure silver.
90%, or 2.25 grams.
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.
All pre-1965 U.S. coins were made of 90% silver and 10% copper. A standard silver quarter weighed 6.25 gm so that means it has about 5.6 gm of silver in it.
To determine how many quarters make an ounce of silver, we first need to know the silver content of a quarter. A standard U.S. quarter (post-1964) contains no silver, while pre-1965 quarters are 90% silver, weighing approximately 6.25 grams. Since an ounce is about 28.35 grams, it would take roughly 4 pre-1965 quarters to equal one ounce of silver.

U.S. quarters, starting from 1932, are called "Washington quarters." Washington quarters dated from 1932 to 1964 are made with 90% silver and 10% copper, and weigh 6.25 grams. The value of the metals depends on the market price of silver and copper. As of October 5, 2007, the value of the silver in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is $2.41 (market price of silver $13.39 per ounce) and the value of the copper in a pre-1964 Washington quarter is about a half of a cent, giving the total value of a pre-1964 Washington quarter about $2.42. If the coin is rare, and/or is in mint like condition, it could be worth significantly more. None of the 1944 Washington quarters (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints) are rare, but if the coin is in mint state, it would be worth about $35.
US quarter dollars issued through 1964 were 90% silver. Quarters issued from 1965 onward (except for some proof coins made for collectors) contain no silver.

Pre-1965 US quarters are 90% silver with a value of about $2.50 just for the silver.
25 cents, unless they are date 1964 or before, then they are 90% silver.
Same as post-1964 nickels: NONE. The only exception is for nickels minted 1942-45.
