No circulating US Coins were ever made of solid silver. They had 10% copper in them to make the metal hard enough to resist wear. 90% Silver Quarters are silver colored on the edge. Some may have toning. 90% Silver Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars, and Dollars were minted until 1964.

Will a magnet be able to tell if its gold or silver?
No, magnets are useful for finding iron, but almost all other metals do not respond to magnets. Gold and silver are equally non-magnetic. However, there are lots of other differences that would enable you to distinguish between gold and silver. Even if you have an alloy of gold and silver, you can tell how much of it is gold and how much of it is silver, by analysing the density of the alloy. Gold is much denser than silver.
When a diamond and silver are rubbed together the diamond makes a scratch in the silver What does this tell you about the two substances?
This indicates that diamond is harder than silver. Hardness is a measure of a material's resistance to scratching or abrasion, with diamond being one of the hardest natural substances. Silver, on the other hand, is a relatively soft metal, which makes it susceptible to scratching when in contact with harder materials like diamond.

Do clad quarters have silver and how do you tell?

1977 Kennedy half dollar that rings like it has silver in it could this be true?
No 1977 halves were struck in silver. It's also very difficult to tell by a coin's ring because clad coins are frequently irregular internally due to thickness differences that occur as the clad stock is rolled out. Look at the coin's edge. If it's copper-colored like the edge of a quarter or dime, you have an ordinary copper-nickel circulation half that's worth face value.
