The only dates that matter
Silver cheat sheet
Four simple rules of thumb. If it's a half dollar dated 1964 it's 90% silver; 1965–1970 it's 40% silver; a quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver; and any dime before 1965 is 90% silver. Everything newer is copper-nickel clad — no silver at all.

✦ The weight tells the truth
Silver doesn't look much different from clad, but it weighs different. A 90% half dollar is 1.16 g heavier than a clad half — a 40% half is 0.16 g heavier. Quarters differ by 0.58 g, dimes by 0.232 g. One cheap scale and a coin's weight tells you what it's made of faster than your eyes ever will.
U.S. Mint specifications vs. the real coin
Weights & specifications
Two layers of weight data. First, the official specification per era (below). Then — the important part — the weight each year’s coins are actually published at, because they are not all identical: PCGS CoinFacts, the U.S. Mint, NGC and Numista don’t always agree on the same year, and the differences are exactly what a scale will show you.

⚖ How to weight-sort your stack
A scale is the fastest triage tool in coin hunting — one coin alone can wobble inside the Mint's official tolerance (±0.45 g half · ±0.23 g quarter · ±0.09 g dime), so the smart move is batches of ten. Clean coins only — dirt and gunk add grams.
Half dollar
30.61 mm✦ 90% silver (1964)12.50 g
◈ 40% silver (1965–70)11.50 g
Clad (1971+)11.34 g
Silver beats clad by +1.16 g per coin
Quarter

Dime
17.91 mm✦ 90% silver (1916–64)2.50 g
Clad (1965+)2.27 g
Silver beats clad by +0.23 g per coin
The smarter trick — weigh ten at a time
Per-coin gaps get amplified tenfold, far past scale error. Any 0.1 g kitchen scale can call these.
| Batch of 10 | Silver total | Clad total | Gap | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halves | 90%: 125.0 g · 40%: 115.0 g | 113.4 g | +11.6 g / +1.6 g | 90% = EASY 40% vs clad: check dates |
| Quarters | 62.5 g | 56.7 g | +5.8 g | EASY |
| Dimes | 25.0 g | 22.7 g | +2.3 g | CLEAR |
📌 Weight points the way — the date is the verdict. When a half reads 11.4–11.6 g, confirm 1965–70 for 40% silver; a few hundredths off (halves published at 11.30 g, 2024–25 at 11.20 g, dimes at 2.27 g) is normal planchet variation and never pulls a clad coin into silver territory.

Kennedy half dollar · 1964 – 2025
Half dollar mintages
The only coin on this list that straddles both silver eras. 1964 = 90% silver. 1965–1970 = 40% silver (1965–67 carried no mint marks at all; 1968–70 circulation halves came from Denver only). From 1971 it's clad — and since 2002, mostly a collector's coin. Each row is collapsed to the annual total; the per-mint split rides in small type below it. Gold rows are 90% silver, violet rows are 40%.

Washington quarter · 1932 – 2025
Quarter mintages
All quarters through 1964 are 90% silver. 1965–67 carried no mint marks (one combined figure per year). 1976 was the Bicentennial (dual-dated 1776–1976). From 1999 the reverse rotated through states, parks and notable women — every one of them clad. S* = San Francisco collector/proof strikes, shown in the small-print split for context, never counted in the annual total.

Mercury 1916–45 · Roosevelt 1946–2025
Dime mintages
Two designs, one rule: anything before 1965 is 90% silver. The Mercury (Winged Liberty) dime ran 1916–1945; the Roosevelt dime took over in 1946 and went clad in 1965. The 1996-W Roosevelt dime was a special circulation release from West Point. Rows are annual totals, with the P/D/S/W split in small type.

Bonus: the quiet silver
Silver Jefferson nickels — the 35% silver years
When nickel became a critical war metal in 1942, Congress authorized a substitute alloy — 56% copper · 35% silver · 9% manganese, zero nickel, still vending-machine friendly. The coin kept its normal 5.00 g weight and plain edge, so these "war nickels" spent decades passing unnoticed at face value. Spot them by the large mint mark above Monticello on the reverse.

📌 The 1942 catch: the 13,938,000 Denver nickels and the small-mintmark Philadelphia issues of 1942 stayed in the pre-war 75/25 alloy — only the big-mintmark issues are silver. Pull one from a roll and it's worth about $3.63 in silver at current spot.
