can you post a pic of the proof coin when you get a chance.
 

If it is silver it is a 40%er. However, I think they made both clad and silver proofs that year.
 

1976 S quarter, half and ike dollar was made in three varieties
1) Proof copper nickel clad
2) Uncirculated 40% silver clad
3) Proof 40% silver clad

No 90% silver coins were made by US mint in 1976!
The coin's edge should tell you if it is silver.
If the coin is silver but worn it can be hard to tell the difference between uncirculated silver and proof silver. The value is the same either way (melt value)
