The coin expert shared that quarters from 1964 and older were made of 90% silver and 10% copper while all coins minted in 1965 and newer were made from a mixture of copper and nickel.
A few 1965 quarters still contain silver because they were mistakenly struck on silver planchets.
To check if you have a 1965 silver quarter, Miller advised first checking the coin's rim for the color.
They're more silver while regular quarters have a copper hue.
Additionally, weighing your coin will help confirm if it's made from silver.
While 1965 silver quarters weigh around 6.25 grams, normal quarters weigh only 5.67 grams.
