U.S. quarters minted before 1965 contain 90% silver and currently have a melt value of just below $6. Some coins may be worth more to collectors, depending on date, mint mark, and condition.

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.

Where was a 1964 quarter minted?

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.
