A quarter is 6.25 grams. And if it was minted in 1964 or earlier, then it has 90% silver. So, 6.25X.90=5.625 grams of pure silver. If you are asking about how many ounces, then its 5.625/31.125=0.18% ounce of silver.

Currently, none.
Ending in 1964, the quarter was 90% silver, 10% copper (the alloy is stronger, holds up to wear better than pure silver).
At $12.80 an ounce for silver, and a quarter having almost 6 grams of silver, the value of the silver alone in one of those quarters is about $2.60. That's why they use cheaper materials to make quarters now.
Today's quarters are made from mostly copper, with only the special edition "proofs" made with the 90% silver alloy.
Cool question, by the way!
