I always check the dates on my quarters when it comes time to roll my loose change. Quarters from 1920 - 1967 contain 0.164 oz of silver and quarters from 1919 and earlier contain 0.189 oz of silver. Some quarters issued in 1967 and 1968 contain only 0.089 oz of silver. So for example $10 worth of 1966 quarters contains 6.56 oz of silver. At $30/oz that's $196.80! It's becoming increasingly rare to find these quarters now, but if you have a large collection of "old" change laying around odds are there are quite a few mixed in there.
