Their are a few or believe to be some 1965 Silver 25 cents that got out but no great value in them. Personally Ive never seen on yet at any coin store or online. That doesnt say there is one out there.

in general silver came to an end in 1964 with the exception of the half dollar, it still contained i think .1479 oz. silver up until 1970. "A Guide Book Of United States Coins" by R. S. Yeoman is darn good book with details. New editions come out every year.

It's not silver. 1964 was the last year the dimes, quarters and halves were made of 90% silver. The dimes and quarters were clad after that, nice word for $h1t. The halves continued to have 40% silver in them until 1970 I think. Hope that helps you out. HH Steve

It was only silver when new, now that it is old I knew it was past its prime, where has all the silver gone?

At the price of silver today, they should start minting smaller coins (like dimes) in silver again...that way when all the clad rots and the old silver is found, future generations will have something to find. just my two (clad) cents worth...

As stated above, 1964 was the last year for 90% silver quarters. However, according to coinfacts.com a few 1965 quarters have been found to be struck on the old silver planchets. If one of these were found in silver it would be very valuable. The 1965 silver dimes are in the upper 4 to lower 5 figures.

[Rare error coins have been found struck on the silver planchets of the 1964 and earlier type.]
