ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 9:44 pm There is a person on another forum site selling 40% silver quarters. I've heard of 40% silver half dollar but never 40% quarters. Is this a true or a typo? If true, what years were 40% quarters minted in the U.S.? Report this Post to the Staff

angel2004 Pillar of the Community United States 2168 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 10:18 pm During 1965 through 1970 the halves were 40% silver. I believe the 1976 proof halves were 40% as well. I have never purchased them but have found them in roll hunting as well as those kept from back then. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 03:30 am All business strike 1976-S U.S. quarters are 40% silver. 11 million were minted but millions have likely been melted by now. 1976-S proofs were minted in both regular clad and 40% silver. 4 million 40% silver proof quarters were minted. Of the 15 million 1976-S quarters struck in 40% silver, it's safe to assume that millions have been melted and millions still survive. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
