All circulating quarters dated 1965 and later, and most proof quarters, are made of copper-nickel. They don't contain any silver. If you found it in change and it has a D or P mint mark, it's only worth 25 cents.
If your coin has an S mint mark, it's a proof coin that was made for sale to collectors. If it has a copper-colored edge it's also made of copper-nickel and might sell for $2 to $10 as of 05/2010. If it's in a special holder labelled "Prestige Proof", then it IS a silver coin and is worth $12 to $20 depending on its quality.
Value depends on what kind of error. please be more specific
Neither the US nor Canada have struck circulating silver coins since the 1960s. If your coin is a collector's issue such as a US Prestige Proof, please post a new, separate question with more details.

The simple answer is that any US quarter dated 1964 or earlier is worth many times its face value because these coins were made of 90% silver. However if a quarter is older than roughly the late 1930s / early 1940s its collector value may be higher than its silver value but that depends on the coin's specific date, condition, and mint mark. For that you have to look at a values guide such as the Red Book, PCGS.com, Numismedia.com, etc.
Ah, the 1999 O silver dollar is a beautiful piece of history. Its value can vary depending on its condition and rarity, but it's always worth more than just its monetary value. Take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and the stories this coin holds, my friend.
The silver value is about $6.00. NOTE: The US has never made a pure silver quarter, they are 90% silver & 10% copper.
Pre-1965 US quarters are 90% silver with a value of about $2.50 just for the silver.
Any silver (pre-1965) US quarter is currently worth at least $5 for its silver content. Then collector value above that depends on factors like the date and condition.
A 1942 Washington quarter is common. If it has any wear, the value is just for the silver, about $3.50.
about $6.50-$7.50
If you mean the value of a US 90% silver quarter? Minimum value, as of 6-4-11, is about $6.56.The collectible value depends on date, grade and mintmark if any.
Silver prices have been dipping over the last few weeks, so the current melt value of a US silver quarter (minted before 1965) is a little under $6.
Sorry! The US mint never made solid silver coins.
No 1972 US quarters have silver in them, the last year for silver quarters was 1964. so spend it
You don't have a pure silver quarter as the US has never minted a pure silver (99.9% pure or higher) silver quarter. Instead what you have is a 90% silver quarter which would be dated 1964 or prior. The value depends on a number of factors including the date, the mintmark and the condition. But a silver quarter is worth $5-6 in scrap silver regardless of type or condition, however some quarters can be worth significantly more.
The coin is worth about $3.25 just for the silver, the collectible value depends on how much wear the coin has and if it has a mintmark. And just so you know, it's spelled QUARTER.
No, a 1950 US quarter is not pure silver. It is made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
