Can I Find Any 1964 Silver Quarters? Before 1965, US quarters were made of 90 percent silver. That means that due to the silver alone it would be worth about $3.50 (depending on silver prices). After 1964, the quarter is just made of nickel and copper and worth just 25 cents. The US dime was also changed from 90 percent silver in 1964 to nickel and copper. So, older dimes are worth more than 10 cents. Maybe it doesn’t matter, but the US penny is currently made of mostly zinc.
