These quarters were made at 3 US mint facilities - Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.

Philadelphia and Denver made these for circulation. They're struck from the same cupro-nickel clad metal used for all other quarters since 1965. They generally are only worth face value in average condition. The ones from Philly don't have a mint mark; those from Denver have a D.

The San Francisco mint made special coins called proofs. These were sold to collectors and investors. Some were made of cupronickel while others were struck in 40% silver. All are marked with an "S".

Why is your bicentennial quarter all silver?

Um... it is impossible for it to be all silver. The vast majority of Bicentennial quarters are copper-nickel and worth only 25 cents. Some Bicentennial quarters with an "S" mintmark are 40% silver. If you found a Bicentennial quarter in your pocket change chances are it isn't silver. Unless it is in mint packaging saying it is silver, it is most likely not silver.
