Bi-centennial quarters

[Graciegirl]

Anyone,
Is there any good way to tell if my bi-centennial quarter is silver? I have some that are different looking than the normal clad bi-centennial quarters. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Methinks they will have an S mintmark but Google to double-check

Some 'S' mint marked ones will be silver.

There were 3 issues of the 'S' mint quarter, half dollar, and Eisenhower dollar coin for 1976:
Clad Proof issue
40% Silver Business Strike issue
40% Silver Proof issue

Here is a side by side of the 3 varieties of 'S' mint half dollars, the quarters and Ikes will be the same.
