Product code: Cheapest 1965 *REAL SILVER* Washington Quarter
In 1965, the US Mint officially switched from 90% pure silver coins to ones made from copper-nickel alloy. The new coins had a 75% copper/25% nickel cladding over a pure copper core, making the coin 8.33% nickel by volume. This coin is not magnetic and cheapest is therefor one of the very rare 90% Silver 1965 quarters! The last photo is the edges of the coin.
