1964 Quarter Value
1964 was the last year the Washington quarter was struck in 90% silver. Every 1964 quarter therefore carries a real silver melt value — well above its 25-cent face — which the calculator below shows at the live silver price.

Melt = pure metal content × recent spot (silver $32/oz). This is the bullion floor; collectible coins can be worth far more. Melting circulating US coins is illegal — this estimates intrinsic value.
