The Silver Washington Quarter



U.S. quarters, starting from 1932, are called "Washington quarters." Washington quarters dated from 1932 to 1964 are made with 90% silver and 10% copper, and weigh around 6.25 grams.

The value of the metals depends on the market price of silver and copper. As of January 2010, the value of the silver in a pre-1965 Washington quarter is about $6.

None of the 1944 Washington quarters (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints) are rare, but if the coin is in mint state, it would be worth about $35
