[revealed!] Are All US 1964 Quarters Made Of Silver?

Even after reading http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...cleId=27140, I am inclined to say Yes despite statement of off metal strikes since who can prove when the 1964 off metal strike was done since silver coins were minted until 1966.

Makes me wonder. If the Chinese were or are making counterfeits of that coin, what would they use for metal?

I think so, as long as it says "Quarter dollar"

I would tend to lean towards the side saying yes, as the OP question implied regular issue coins. There are probably 63 dated quarters on nickel planchets among other years as well. The mint did not intend for this coin to be minted.

Well just think as too why they ended making quarters silver. Its because people were hoarding them and also porbably cause they were running our of silver so you would have to assume that there might be a couple thousand coins that arent silver so my answer is definately no

Are the Kennedy halves struck on quarter planchets still halves? Is it abundantly clear they're struck on the wrong planchet, or do you have to weigh them (knowing which date you need to check, of course)?




Except the wrong planchet strikes. They are still 1964 quarter dollars.

I see where the OP was going, and it is an interesting case, but that'd be like saying all Indian Head cents are copper...there was the pattern with aluminum, and an off metal strike on a silver Half Dime (although it's denomination is 10 cents), although I'm sure true silver Indian Heads exist, but there is also one struck in gold.

Kind of interesting what the OP did. But, for all intents and purposes, 64's are silver.
