To clear things up, the US never made pure silver quarters. Circulating quarters were made of 90% silver and 10% copper from 1796, the first year of issue, until 1964. In addition, modern quarters don't have any silver in them at all. They're made of a pure copper core clad with outer layers of copper-nickel alloy.
