Silver Quarters
Note: Because the 2009 silver proof set contains one more quarter than previous state quarter sets, the set has more silver in it and the coin set issue price was slightly higher from the US mint. The silver proof quarter sets are housed in a United States mint 'red' plastic holder, while the non-silver 'copper-nickel clad' 2009 quarters are in. Silver quarters like Barbers, 1892-1916, and Standing Liberty coins, 1916-1930, are made out of silver, so they may be collected by historians and coin collectors. There are two categories of Standing Liberties. The first coin was later changed to a second because it was considered to have a risque image.
