You bet. A tip for youto tell difference, just note the difference on the side between that quarter & a modern one. You notice the modern one has a band of copper in it-silver one's (pre-65) lack the band.
With a date of 1979 the coin has no silver it's a clad coin made of copper-nickel alloy bonded to a core of copper but if the coin is missing on full side it may have significant value. Take it to a dealer for and assessment.
If you mean pure copper, no. Quarters were made of 90% silver / 10% copper up till 1964; in 1965 the composition was changed to the current "sandwich" of 75% copper / 25% nickel outer layers bonded to an inner core of pure copper. If your coin weighs the same as a regular quarter, it's been plated - this is a common high school chemistry experiment. However, if it's thinner than a regular quarter it's possible that you have what's called a lamination error. That happens when the outer cladding on a modern quarter separates from the copper core. Normally that happens only on one side so a double lamination error is fairly scarce; if that's what you appear to have the coin should be inspected in person.

Zambia is one of the world's largest copper producers in Africa. The country's economy heavily relies on copper mining as a key source of revenue and employment.
Yes, it is extremely rare to find a copper quarter as U.S. quarters have been made of a copper-nickel alloy since 1965. Prior to that, quarters were made of 90% silver until 1964. If you have a quarter that appears to be copper, it may be the result of a mint error or some form of altered coin.

A copper quarter is a regular U.S. quarter coin that has been coated with a thin layer of copper. This gives the coin a reddish appearance, similar to a penny. It is not an official U.S. coin, but rather a novelty item or a collectible.

Aside from the fact that they're all made from copper and nickel in varying proportions, one dime = two nickels one quarter = five nickels; two dimes and one nickel; or one dime and three nickels.
The 1918 influenza pandemic, also known as the Spanish flu, is estimated to have killed around 50 million people worldwide, which was approximately a quarter of the global population at that time.
No 1964 silver quarter should have a copper layer and they all should be 90% silver, although it is possible that your quarter has tarnished or toned odd and just appeared to look non-silver. Both copper-nickel clad and silver quarters were produced in the mid-1960s with the clad ones being dated 1965 and later while the silver ones were dated 1964, so theoretically it could be struck on a copper-nickel planchet. I would weigh the coin, a silver one should weigh about 6.25 grams (naturally a worn quarter would weigh less) while a copper-nickel one should weigh much less, about 5.67 grams.
The British Farthing, whether it was made from bronze or copper, was one quarter of a Penny. I do not believe that there was a US equivalent.
