Originally a one-year commemorative for Washington's 200th birthday — Congress kept it permanently. Silver through 1964, clad 1965–present. The classic "no mintmark = Philadelphia" rule was broken in 1980 when the P mintmark was added to circulating quarters for the first time.
The Coinage Act of 1965 stripped silver from the dime and quarter entirely and reduced the half dollar to 40% silver. Skyrocketing silver prices and the strain on US silver reserves forced the change. 1964 was the last full-silver year for circulating US coinage — collectors mark the year as the modern silver cutoff.
