The US quarter is 90% silver. The bouillon calculator says it is worth $9.40 at the current spot price. This is correct.
The problem is that the Canada 1909 silver quarter is saying it’s worth $9.03. This is impossible since it is 0 2.5% more silver than the US quarter. Unfortunately, this is the most current information that Google pulls up when I’m searching for the correct value of the.925 silver Canada quarter. 
 The AI answer is based off of Numista…
 

N#10591

N#375

Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

The US quarter weighs more than the Canadian one. 6.25 g for the US and 5.81 g for the Canadian.

oh! They are the sane diameter but I should have checked the weight! Thanks. Sorry for adding an unnecessary post…
