The wieght if it is silver should be 5.75 grams, clad weight is 5.67 grams.
No the weight of a silver quarter is 6.25 grams not 5.75

The tissue test will tell you if the outside is silver but it won't tell tell you if it is silver all the way through or just plated on the outside.

Now that people are finding out that they have no value above a quarter each, they are beginning to turn up in circulation and in rolls of coins.
This past Tuesday the secretary of our local coin club went to the bank to get change for his business and came back with three rolls of gold plated state quarters.

Believe it or not, in certain parts of our country, times are very tough and people are spending whatever they have. Another major problem that is happening nationwide, is so many people are hooked on pain killers and they'll do anything to get they're next pill. Numerous houses in my area have been broken in too, their not looking for items to steal, they want money, any kind of money. One lady had a old half gallon apple cider jug filled with change, that was the only thing missing. The thief passed up on expensive electronics. This is just a drop in the bucket of why people are spending their collectible coins...
