This is the first year in which the Mint struck Clad Quarters, as all pre 1965 Washington Quarters were made of 90% silver. The Mint did not strike Proof Sets or regular Mint Sets this year. Instead, the Mint struck Special Mint Sets in 1965, 1966 and 1967. The 1965 Special Mint Sets were sold to the public at a price of $4.00 each. Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1965 in July, under which the Mint transitioned from striking 1964-dated silver quarters to striking 1965-dated clad quarters. Beginning on August 1, 1966, the Mint began to strike 1966-dated pieces, and thereafter it resumed the normal practice of striking the current year's date on each piece.

1965 Quarters
1965 was the year that dimes and quarters changed from being 90% silver to 0% silver. So 1965 was known as a transition year because the mint had to change their operations. Errors get made whenever there is a big change in operating procedure.
In 1965 the mint accidentally created a few 90% silver dimes and quarters. At least one 1965 90% silver quarter is known to exist and in 2014 it sold for $7,050 at an auction.
It's possible that more 1965 silver error quarters are in existence. But how would you identify one? It's simple. The easiest method is to weigh the coin on a calibrated gram scale. The standard clad quarters weigh 5.67 grams and the 90% silver quarters weigh 6.25 grams. You can also use the eye test. Silver quarters are shinier and they don't have any copper or nickel layers showing on the edge of the coin.
