If this is a circulated coin, like was said already, that date is common and only worth silver melt value. You might look to see if it's a type B reverse and there were a few doubled dies in 1963, but while making it a cooler coin and a bit of a premium on the value, that would not be a show stopper to use it and in fact might enhance the gift.

There are some varieties for the 1963 quarter. They are listed here: http://koinpro.tripod.com/ErrorVarietyList.htm Values for them range from $35 - $45. So -- nothing to get too concerned about. I think it's great that you're doing this for your mother. I'm sure she will cherish it.

Here is the Quarter... My Brother found it in a coin star machine.

 Angie! What a nice coin star find.  And a wonderful idea to turn this into a ring for your mother. And I will so look forward to a pic of the finished project.

This is the typical type of 63 quarter without a type B REV. So its only value is the silver, and then the priceless-ness to your Mom you will give it when making her ring!
Please do post pics when done.

Very good Angie! I saw jewelry made from coins for the first time just earlier this month, just lively. Go for it!

So -- how's it going?
I was curious -- about how long does it take to make a ring from a quarter?
