No circulating US silver coins were made of pure silver. It's too soft. The composition is .900 silver & .100 copper to make the coins hard enough to resist wear. Please see the Related Question for more information.

Value of a pure silver quarter?

You don't have a pure silver quarter as the US has never minted a pure silver (99.9% pure or higher) silver quarter. Instead what you have is a 90% silver quarter which would be dated 1964 or prior. The value depends on a number of factors including the date, the mintmark and the condition. But a silver quarter is worth $5-6 in scrap silver regardless of type or condition, however some quarters can be worth significantly more.
