    They made a silver quarter in 1976, the 1976-S Bicentennial
    I am not sure what your question is, could you be more specific?
    Are you thinking you might have a supposed to be clad quarter on a silver planchet (blank) ?

    For the silver quarter in 1976, they used 40% silver, 60% copper.

    Data on the 1977-D quarter. It is copper and NICKEL....

        There are some info and links Gary provided that should answer your question.

        If you have a coin and you wonder about the composition, do an XRF analysis to determine what the metallic content is. Pawn shops or jewelry stores might have one and do it for you as a courtesy.

          And yes I do believe this coin, was struck on a silver planchet. Which resulted in a mad clash struck multiple times as evident on obverse and reverse.

            Why do you think that by virtue of being struck on a silver planchet, that it would result in a mad clash? The machines strike coins, no matter what the metallic composition. We have no photos to try and verify your claim that you say is evident. Could you post some for us please?
            The coinfacts link listed tells us exactly what the composition was. Something is leading you to believe a 1977D is different. Do you have one? if it is different, then you should get it checked out. I don't see how anyone can arbitrarily have a readout for a random 1977D quarter. Even if they did, how does that help you and your coin?
            I am genuinely curious.

              I’m learning. The coin is damaged by fire that’s and damage was done after it left the mint.
