thanks fretboard.is there a specific year to look for? one that is worth more than rest.

 

I did find a 1964 George Washington Quarter in my pocket change today. So when i got home I check my "Guide Book of United States Coins 2011" and it appears that 1964 was the last year of the silver quarters. They started to mint the 'Clad' quarters in 1965 and there was a void in proof sets from 1964-1967.

 

It couldve been a coin minted in 1964 dated 1965, which would explain why it's still silver. I remember reading somewhere (possibly either here at cointalk or the us mint site) that sometimes they start producing next year's coins in advance so that they can release that year's coin at the turn of the year. But this was mostly referring to the state quarters and may not apply here.

 

The Mint produced 1964 dated silver quarters (dimes, too) well into 1965, to discourage hoarding of silver coins while the new clads were being put into circulation. It was easy for the odd stray planchet to find its way to the wrong hopper, in either direction. Having said that, the OP probably just got his date wrong, and has a 1964 quarter.

 

Do you know how much/ what percent of the mintage of 1965 quarters was silver? I guess i'm asking how rare it is to find a 1965 silver quarter. This would apply for mint sets too right? I have a 1965 special mint set that i suspect is silver, but i don't want to open the plastic to find out.

 

Where the heck is the quarter?!?! PLEASE POST PICTURES!!!

 

As everyone said, weigh it first. Post a few pics here, because some of these guys are really sharp and can guide you through the authentication and grading process.

Rooting for you !

He must have spent it.

 

listen i have one of those too i have had it since 1971.i dont know anything about it either. thanks tommy

 

That one tends to look possibly like a cast counterfeit. I know some people will say "Why in the world would anyone counterfeit a clad quarter? They aren't worth anything!" All I can say is that they are out there.

 

hello, i too am new to this and also have a 1965 quarter that sounds silver also

 

lol. I wouldn't be using a metal knife to hold that up.

 

that quarter is (...) already.. lmao i just won five bucks, betting my friend that some one would talk about the knife b4 the coin..

 

send me $2.50

 

Hello, I too have a 1965 quarter that i believe to be silver. Any info about this item would be greatly appreciated. ​

We would need a weight of the coin to tell for sure. Another thing you can do is place a kleenex over the top and tell us what color show's through.

 

Look at the rim, obvious clad.

 

thanks.

 

Hmmm, really please tell the rest of us what the rim has to do with it? This outta be interesting
