Although quarters were never made entirely of silver, the U.S. Mint completely stopped using silver in quarters in 1965, producing the last actual silver quarters in 1964. Prior to 1965, the Mint made quarters out of 10 percent copper and 90 percent silver.
Silver was removed from half dollars in stages: - Up to 1964 they were made of 90% silver. - From 1965 to 1970 they were 40% silver. - After that, they've been made of copper-nickel. In addition, nickels minted from mid-1942 to 1945 contained a small amount of silver due to wartime shortages of nickel.
