How can I easily tell if a 1968 quarter is 50% silver? I know some of them are and some aren't so I need an easy way to tell.

The nickel ones are magnetic. The silver ones are not.

I made a video on my YouTube channel on how to tell the difference in a TECHNICAL and SCIENTIFIC way that is not dictated by human interpretation.

Awesome video, RyanB11 !! Does this work for the 1967 dimes too? Do you notice after sometime working with these coins, that you can tell if the coin is 50% or 80% by the ring tone?
