Clad value

I've been getting several 1965-1975 quarter's in change at the convenience store. I know some 65'-69'(?) coins were of higher silver content (dollars and half dollars), what about the noble quarter dollar coins?

From 1965 on all Quarters were Copper-Nickel Clad except some Proof issues.

Metal value of those coins right now:
1965-2012 Quarter $0.0541211

the common half dollar from 1965 thru 1970 were 40% silver. The 70 is a hard one to find as they didn't mint as many. The common quarter was 90% silver until 1965. From 65 on they are all clad except as metioned above.
