Additional Description: The 1945 and 1964 U.S. Silver Quarters bookend a significant period in American coinage, each struck in 90% silver yet separated by nearly two decades of social and economic change. The 1945 quarter, produced in the final year of World War II, circulated in a nation mobilized for global conflict, where coins were a constant in a life shaped by rationing and resilience. By contrast, the 1964 quarter emerged at the height of postwar prosperity but also marked the end of an era. It was the last year silver quarters were minted for circulation before the Coinage Act of 1965 ushered in the copper-nickel clad composition.
