What is the silver percentage in the silver quarter, half and dime in the silver proof sets from 1992 to date(40% or 90%)?

The ones i have are plated with silver like the nickle is on regular quaters.

Are yours solid silver or copper middles?

90% and the same weight and content of silver as the 1964 and earlier coins....

I picked up a 1992 S silver proof set over the weekend at a rummage sale. The plastic lens was cracked, but all of the silver coins were intact. Because of the cracked lens, I offered $3.50 (knowing I'd let the seller talk me up higher). The final price was $5 and the Academy Award performance I gave to the seller was a masterpiece. Cha-Ching!

Well done. And don't forget to submit your nomination for the seller to the Academy before the deadline.
