Pre-1965 US dimes, quarter and half-dollars weigh, respectively, 2.5 grams, 6.25 grams and 12.5 grams, and thus a pound of any of them would have a face value of $18.14. In 1965, with the advent of clad coinage replacing the previous 90% silver then in circulation, the weight of the coins dropped a bit, leaving a pound of such coins with a face value of $20.
Thus, an ounce of silver coinage would have a face value of $1.13, or 4 1/2 quarters, and an ounce of clad coinage would be $1.25, or exactly 5 quarters.
