The raw bullion value of a 99.9% Silver Quarter is $4.50.
This is according to the current Silver melt at approximately $23.50, and no numismatic value to skew the price.
Your collectable Quarter price, of course, will vary.

I thought silver quarters were 900 fine silver.

Some moderns are 99.99%.
The Mint switched to .999 several years ago.

So you’re both correct, as it depends upon what type of “silver quarters” are being discussed.

The mint switched to .999 silver in 2019 for all coins that were previously 90% silver. This includes dime, quarter and half of silver proof sets and all silver commems.
The dimensions are still the same so you get a touch more silver per coin, .199ozt vs .181ozt for quarters.

You are of course correct. These are special coins that were made and sold to collectors for a premium. Since the OP specifically asked about "bullion value", I assumed he was talking about the pre-1965 junk silver coins.

No Perry.
I was talking about the change in 2019 to the fineness of 99.9 from 90.0 that the Silver Quarters are now.
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. My bad.
