The last Liberty Standing quarters were minted in 1930. All quarters minted after that have the current image of Washington on the obverse. A 1964 Liberty Standing quarter would be a privately-minted fantasy piece with little collector value.If you have a 1964 Washington quarter it's worth about $3.50 for its silver content. If you have a different coin please post a new question with additional details.
Washington quarters had their mint marks on the back until 1964. Look under the bow of the wreath, above the R in the word QUARTER. If there is no letter, the coin was made in Philadelphia. A D means Denver. (Quarters before 1955 were also made in San Francisco, "S"). 1964 quarters were made by the billions, so they are only worth what a metal dealer will pay for their silver content.

one quarter of a dollar or 25 cents. If it is a coin minted before 1964, it is made of actual silver (or a percentage) and is probably worth more as a collectable coin. How much depends on what year, what mint mark, and its condition.
It's pretty obviously worth at least $0.25. If it's a US quarter, 1964 was the last year quarters contained silver, and it's worth considerably more than that. Quarters from 1965 and later are cupro-nickel, the same as quarters minted today.

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.
