not saying that it is, but isn't it at least possible that a 1964 planchet found its way into the mix in 1965? this is from another forum discussing the same subject; Quote:
the government in its ultimate wisdom decided to produce and circulate silver quarters and dimes, (dated 1964), through 1967 in the hopes that the public would not hoard silver coinage, thinking that there were still plenity in circulation, and thus bide the government time to develop a functional and easily way to extract silver coinage from circulation. Needles to say their attempt failure miserably.
So the chances that some silver blanks got mixed with clad production were possible. I have heard of silver dimes being found with dates after 1964, but I have yet to heard of any quarters. That doesn't mean that they don't exist. Edited by Wade

Its possible, but in that case there would be pictures of the edge and it likely graded as an error as it would be worth more than it sold for. Judging from the listing I'm guessing they really just thought its supposed to be silver |

Another possibility:
Could it have been thin silver electroplated?
Am MS60 coin would present as perhaps an EF with less sharp detail; the increase in weight would have been almost negligible.
Of course if it it IS genuine .900 fine silver, then it would weigh 6.25 grammes.

Maybe they meant silver in color  And the call themselves a silver coin store  . At least it probably cost them a few bucks to ship it. |

The only thing that would make it a worse deal is it being a counterfit coin to boot

I think there are a few genuine '65 coins struck on a silver planchet, just like the copper '43 and steel '44 cents. This isn't anything new on ebay, though. I once saw a roll of circulated 1964 nickels hit $50 when the bidder stated "All SILVER coins minted in 1964 are 90% pure SILVER." |
