In researching States quarters and ATB Quarters, I've become confused. Are only the proofs made with 90% silver? It seems like there are some in circulation that worth more than face value. Error coins, for sure, but also some in circulation with silver content? Report this Post to the Staff

There are also silver plated ones done after a clad coin leaves the mint by private companies to pray on the grandparents and the uninformed. They are plated in silver,gold and platinum.

Only some proofs are silver (appropriately called silver proofs), some proofs are made with the same clad composition as the quarters struck for circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
