    Each silver quarter has .18 troy ounces of silver. So, my calcs say about 5 1/2 quarters to the troy ounce (silver).

    go to coininflation.com if you have further questions on weight like weight of silver in a half dollar, etc.

    Why would you want to know the weight of a clad quarter? Get a scale and weigh it.

    I have no idea why no one will just tell you the weight instead of telling you to weight it yourself. Someone must have a Red Book (they have the weights listed) or a scale in front of them.

    I'm at work, but when I get home I will throw one on my scale and tell you what it says.

    Clad:

    A clad quarter weighs 5.67 grams or .19965 ounces. So 5 clad quarters would equal one standard ounce.

    Now a 5.67 grams in TROY ounces is 0.182294733 of an ounce so it would take 5.48 clad quarters to make a TROY ounce.


    Now for silver:

    A SILVER (pre 1964) quarter weighs a total of 6.25 grams, or 0.220462262 standard ounces, so it would take 4.53 silver quarters to weight one standard ounce TOTAL, but keep in mind that only nine tenths of that ounce would actually be silver. (Silver quarters are only 90% silver by weight) It would take take five silver quarters ( a total weight of apprx 1.1 standard ounces) to come up with an ounce of SILVER CONTENT.

    Now for Troy Oz (standard measurment for precious metal)

    6.25 grams equals 0.200942166 TROY ounces, so it would take 4.97 (call it 5) silver quarters to come up with a weight of 1 TROY OUNCE. Now again, only 90% of that will be silver, so if you want to make a troy ounce of just silver it would take about 5.5 quarters to make a troy ounce of JUST SILVER (1.1 troy ounces total weight)

    I think the estimate of 715 ounces per $1,000 bag of 90% silver allows for a little bit of wear on the coins.

    An uncirculated bag, by my calculation, would contain about 724 ounces of pure silver.

    According to specs, a clad quarter weighs exactly .2 ounces. Hence, all cupro-nickel clad including dollars = $20 face per pound.
