TreeMonkey Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 11:40 pm I was wondering what the silver content, if any, this coin may contain. CC coin facts (main quarter page) reports this coin as "Silver Proof Content: Cladding 80% silver 20% copper, COre 20.9% silver, 79.1% copper" (hmmm, never heard of that particular composition). Clicking on 1982-s and I see "Cladding 75% Copper 25% Nickel, COre 100% Copper". Was there a silver and a clad proof that year? Thanks! Enjoying the forum. Report this Post to the Staff

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 11:50 pm Proof quarters were copper/nickel clad only from 1968-1991 with the exception of 1976, in which a 40% silver proof was issued. Starting in 1992 up through the present year, both clad and 90% silver proofs were made. Your 1982 proof has no silver content. Edited by Kefiroth 12/20/2011 11:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Such an easy word......scroll. Took me 8 months to train my hamster to do that. Report this Post to the Staff
