Quarters minted between 1932 and 1964 contain 0.18 troy ounces of silver. After 1964, the U.S. Mint used a 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel alloy in quarters because of fears about the declining stock of silver. The U.S. Mint created silver quarters at its facilities in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver. The Mint continued to make silver proof coins for collectors after 1964.
