I read they do exist but can't find a picture,this was cheap and advertised as cladding problem coin so I bought it,I expect it to be silver which is OK for the melt value,these are the sites pictures I have no other pictures.The yellow color on the left upper side I'm sure is just the way the camera reads the light hitting it but the rest is in shadows and looks reddish,not exited about this coin I posted more to see where I can see a picture of a real one,thanks.   |

It looks like a normal silver quarter with some tarnishing around the edges.

That's what I thought too,got it cheaper than the melt value so I bought it,not to make 3 bucks and cash it in for melt,just because of the "never know" thing LOL.

There are no '64 clad dimes known.
There's a single 1964 clad quarter in very nice AU. I actually got to see it and put a bid on it but it was too low.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I agree, just a normal silver quarter worth around 5 dollars in the current market

I see a 1964 Denver mint silver quarter. Tell us more when you get it in hand.

The Coinage Act of 1965 that enabled clad coinage was enacted in July 1965 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg...4.pdf#page=1While the mint was certainly working on the clad coin concept long before the act was signed, they would have been quite careful as they would not have been legal coins. Today all this kind of work on alternative compositions is done using nonsense dies. With good reason as some of those have leaked out. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

During this time there were many chances for silver or clad coin to end up on the wrong die. Many 1965 silver dimes are known and about 8 '65 silver quarters but there are no clad dimes and only a single clad quarter dated 1964. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Maybe it doesn't really exist? I'm not sure what a picture of one is going to do for you anyway. How can you tell whether it's silver or clad from an image? It seems like what you want is evidence that one was sold at auction or certified by a TPG, and I'm not finding anything other than articles or forum posts saying that they exist. You're chasing a unicorn. |

True, cladking. From what I can discern, my 1965 silver quarter was minted between August 1965 and the switchover to 1966 dies. Ginger Rapsus's book mentions that switchover date to the 1966 dies if I remember right. I always wanted one because 1965 is my birth year. Finally the dream came true.  Edited by DoubleEagle20
