Ron Don Volante posted:skipdogg is right. U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars were all struck of silver through 1964 and have a distinctive color compared to modern nickel-plated copper coins. Half dollars from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver. Nickels even had some silver content during WWII. Judging from your description, it's only worth melt value. But it's still worthwhile to check your change for silver coins, as $2 vs. 10cents isn't a bad deal. I was handed a 1964 quarter today, and before I even looked at my change I knew it was unusual. It just felt strange in my hand, probably because it's noticeably thicker than a modern quarter. Did I just win a $2 lottery?
