there is likely more silver content in it.
you have to study the markings on it very carefully - every marking counts. Then you should google it or take it in to a coin dealer or go to the library - you can get books with pictures in them to show you if what you have is worth anything.

On quarters from 1932-1964 the mint mark is below the wreath on the eagle side, so check out that it is just a 1935. There were 32,484,000 minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark) so it is not rare the D and S are more scarce. Dealer bid for one in grade good is $2.20 which is just over the silver value in it.Even in Very fine grade it only is worth $2.60. The 1935-D is worth $10 in very fine and the 1935-S around $4.75.

This grading organization is one of the best in the business my friend. Trust what you find here. Each US made coin is listed with an accurate price guide. Keep in mind it's for graded coins, but it's a place to start to understand.
Check the back of the quarter to see if there is a mint mark under the bottom center wreath.
If there is, it's minted in Denver (D) or San Francisco (S). If there's not a mint mark it's minted in Philadelphia (and considered P, although there's not any mint mark on the coin).
There is online help on this site for proper grading, but I would take an educated guess that the coin to be worth somewhere between a few dollars to $10.00 depending on condition and location of minting.
Another good place to look is ebay. Ebay has a very active coin community. Almost all good sellers post pictures so you can see a pretty good "real world" value when compared to how your quarter looks and grades.
Cool coin :)

You must have the date wrong, no quarter dollars were minted in 1802. The first quarter was minted in 1796 then the next date was 1804. The years in between were skipped. Back in those days people brought in their silver and could have it made into what ever denomination they wanted. Most went for dollars or halves.
