Description
Before 1965, many of the coins in everyday circulation were minted from an alloy made with a combination of 90% pure silver and 10% pure copper.
The 25C (quarter) denomination of coins minted with this alloy include Liberty Head “Barber” (1892-1916), Standing Liberty (1916-1930) and Washington Quarters (1932-1964).
These 90% silver coins were pulled from circulation with the introduction of copper/nickel clad coins and the rising industrial demand for silver in the 1960s. Many in the public hoarded them for their 90% silver content as a rainy day fund they could fall back on.
