Not sure what you mean. ALL dimes and quarters since 1965, and all halves and dollars since 1971 have been struck in cupronickel-clad metal. Take any coin out of your pocket change and look at the edge to see the pure copper core!

What is the value of a 1974 US 1 dollar coin?

Answer July 13, 2009 The 1974 Eisenhower Dollar was minted at 3 US Mint facilities, Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The mintmark for this coin is located on the obverse [heads] side of the coin just above the date. The letter "D" indicates the coin was produced at the Denver mint, the letter "S" indicates the coin was produced at the San Francisco mint and if there is no letter at all then the coin was produced at the Philadelphia mint [indicated by the letter "P" in listings ,for example 1974-P] Common circulation issues are made of copper-nickel; they don't contain any silver. The Philadelphia and Denver mints produced the uncirculated copper/nickel clad coins [common coins]. The San Francisco mint produced the proof copper/nickel clad coins [collector coins] as well as uncirculated silver clad coin [collector coins] and the proof silver clad coin [also collector coins]. The values listed below are for uncirculated and proof coins as indicated.

What is the value of a 1974 Kennedy silver dollar?

The only denomination struck for circulation bearing JFK's image is the half dollar, not a dollar, as can be seen on the coin's reverse where it says "Half Dollar". Unless the coin is a proof or uncirculated, all halves from 1971 and later are standard cupronickel clad coins and are only worth face value.

What is a 1964 clad quarter worth?

It is unlikely that you have a clad 1964 quarter, all quarters dated 1964 should be 90% silver, not the copper-nickel clad of 1965-present. Look on the rim of your coin, if it is a solid color (usually solid white but silver tones easily to different colors) it is silver, if it has a line of copper through it it is clad (compare it with a quarter from your pocket change). If it is clad, it is an error and worth quite a bit of money. If it is silver it is worth about $6 for the silver content.

Does a clad coin stick to a magnet?

"clad" coins with little or no silver contentCorrectionIt depends on what the coin is made of. US clad coins are mostly copper, with a small amount of nickel to give them a silvery color. While pure nickel does stick to a magnet there's so much copper (about 92% overall) that the coins don't stick. Some German coins (pre-euro) were made of steel clad with cupronickel, and these coins did stick to magnets.
