To make a small correction, no circulation quarter made since 1965 has any silver in it. The outer layers are copper-nickel, the same metal used in 5¢ coins.

That said, what you have sounds like a lamination error. It can happen to a clad coin when the outer copper-nickel layer wasn't properly bonded to the copper core. It's common enough that it's not considered to be a very scarce error, but your quarter is still a nice find - I've seen some prices in the $10 range.

: i have a 2001 vermont quarter that has no silver on its back.i RECEIVED [recieved] this coin as change from a convenience store.i IMMEDIATELY [immediatly] had it put in a coin sleeve and put it away.i am looking to sell now and am curious of its value before i pursue this.can anyone help me out there?
