amount of silver in a us quarter?
914622
A quarter is 6.25 grams.  And if it was minted in 1964 or earlier, then it has 90% silver.  So, 6.25X.90=5.625 grams of pure silver.  If you are asking about how many ounces, then its 5.625/31.125=0.18% ounce of silver.

When they changed from silver to modern coinage, they kept the weights the same so both would work in vending machines.\n\npennies = 2.5 g x 57 = 142.5 g\nnickels = 5.0 g x 3 = 15 g\ndimes = 2.268 g x 3 = 6.804 g\nquarters = 5.67 g x 2 = 11.34 g\nhalves = 11.34 g x 1 = 11.34 g\n\nNote that a dime weighs 1/5 of a half dollar and a quarter weighs half as much, so that when they were all silver you'd get an equal amount of silver for an equal amount of cents.\n\nThere are about 454 g in a pound, or 227 in a half pound.  These coins add up to 186.984 g, or a little less than half a pound.

A gift that keeps on giving try 1 oz silver ingots at your local coin store they come with all kinds of pictures minted on them like Garfield and others. or gram gold ingots. It may sound expensive but silver is 12$ an oz or so and people think you really put yourself out. Ask for silver trade units they don't really have collector value just the price of the metal itself that way you don't kick yourself in the a s s for giving something valuable away. Gold is at about 25$ a gram or so. these gifts are really high with coolness factor without giving much up.

It depends on what the condition is.  Even in poor condition it's never worth less than $1 and would be worth at least the silver value.  Remember, anything is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it.  Check recent Ebay sales, the price list on pcgs.com, or recent coin mags to get an idea.

Supposedly it's illegal though (I'm giving away my age)...I remember when there was a big rush up in the price of silver to $50+ per ounce and coin dealers and antique shops were all rusing material to smelters (technical term for those who melt/refine metals).  Nobody was ever arrested for it that I'm aware of.  Numismatic value is determined by the date, mint, and condition of the coin so I'd check the Redbook at the library to see if the coin is worth more than melt (melt is currently at around 6x face for silver).

It is still only worth $1.00 unless the price of silver is up or u find someone who is looking for that coin to finish or add to a collection.\n\nI save old coins 2 and have some dated before 1900 and took to a coin dealer/pawn shop to see what they were worth and they are pretty much worth the amount printed on the coin. That goes for rare paper dollars as well.

It is not worth anything.  Quarters before 1965 are more valuable because of the silver content.

"he United States minted coins for the Philippines from 1903-1945. These coins came in 1/2 centavo (minted only 1903-1908 with 17.7 million coins; yet unpopular with public and so were discontinued), 1 centavo, 5 centavo, 10 centavo, 20 centavo, 50 centavo, and 1 peso varieties. The 1/2 and 1 centavo coins were bronze, the 5 centavo nickel, the 10, 20, 50 centavo and peso coins were silver. From 1903-1906, the silver coins had a high content (90% silver, also known as coin silver). The composition was reduced in 1907, due to a jump in silver prices."\n\nThat won't help if you're just wanting to know if that one that YOU have is silver. Sorry. You could take it to a pawn shop... maybe a bank.

The cent, once a copper coin, is now composed of copper-plated zinc. Copper-plated cents cost less to manufacture, and at 2.5 grams each, they weigh about 20% less than the older cent, which was 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc.\n\nSo there's not enough copper there to make it worth your while -- it will cost more to get the copper than the value of the metal, even at $4 per pound.

Equivalent sets for 35 cents might be 7 nickels OR 3 dimes and 1 nickel.\n\nfor $6.92 might be 27 quarters, 1 dime, and 7 pennies\n\nand of course the possibilities are many for each

I believe that you're referring to a 'Silver CERTIFICATE'...back before FDR took us off the Gold Standard (back in the day, you could cash in your bills for silver or gold...the government used to actually guarantee the $$$ was there)\nThey ARE collector's items; I've always been better at spending money than holding on to it, so I have no idea what they're actually worth, but I'm pretty sure it's worth more than a dollar.  Like any other old stuff, the better condition it's in, the more it'll be worth.  My suggestion would be to go to e-Bay and run a search for "1935 Silver Certificate" - that should give you a fair idea of what they go for, without having somebody try to run a fast one on you.\n\nAlso, try this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Certificate\n\nHope this helps...let me know what you find out.

Most likely it is worth more than 5.00. It probably says "silver certificate" across the top as well? Take it to a local coin dealer, and ask them what it might be worth to them... Mind you though - they're in the business - so, they may give you a lowball offer if they're interested in purchasing it from you. Good luck!

The mass of an American quarter is about 5.6 grams.  453.5 grams in a pound.  So you'd have about $20 (80 quarters) in a pound of quarters.

1 cent.\n\nOBTW US coinage does not include "pennies".  They are "cents".
