just few are silver with 1965.

1964 and before dimes, quarters and halfs are 90% silver --after 64 there is no silver in dimes or quarters ( the silver color outsides are "nickle")--and halfs 65 to 70 were reduced to only 40% silver "clad" outsides . look at the sides see a brown line --thats the copper core.

Your confusing the poor man, Show me your reference to your claim??

Tank, your eyes will tell you when you dig a late silver US coin. I have yet to dig a 1960's clad coin that is not brown in color. Every single 1960's silver I have dug has come up shiny silver. ffd

There were some in 65.. I found this on coin facts.."Rare error coins have been found struck on the silver planchets of the 1964 and earlier type." If you find silver it will be unmistakable...

 

[diggummup]

For the most part it is 1964 or earlier. They did start making silver proof sets again in 1992, so although it is highly unlikely, it is possible to find a silver quarter from '92 or newer.

Ok guys, my apologies to those of you who said that there were a few error coins minted on a silver planchet, It is indeed true. However the mintage is unkn own but from what i can tell it is such a small number that have been recorded that you can count the lot with less than 10 fingers. Here is a pic of one such coin. Oh and apparently even rarrer is a 1964 coin struck on a clad planchet, Aparently know one looked to see as most people presumed that they were all silver. Learn something everyday.
