The Washington silver quarter was first minted in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. The coin's design was chosen through a nationwide competition, and it was created by sculptor John Flanagan.

These quarters look similar in appearance to modern quarters. However, they were initially made of 90% silver and 10% copper, giving them a total silver content of approximately 0.1808 troy ounces per coin. The physical diameter of each silver quarter is 24.3 millimeters (0.955 inches) with a total weight of 6.25 grams (0.22 ounces).

These quarters were minted at various U.S. Mint facilities, including Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D mint mark), and San Francisco (S mint mark). The mint mark is usually located on the reverse side, above the denomination.

Due to rising silver prices, the silver content of these quarters was eliminated beginning in 1965 with the introduction of "clad" quarters.

Pre-1965 Washington silver quarters are highly sought after by collectors and investors due to their silver content.

Each $10 face value silver roll contains forty pre-1965 Washington 90% silver quarters. The approximate silver weight of each $10 roll of 90% quarters is 7.15 troy ounces.

One of the primary purposes of coin rolls is to facilitate transactions, both in banks and for individuals or businesses that handle cash regularly. The U.S. Mint and Treasury have traditionally used these denominations and this practice has continued over the years. When a bank orders quarters from the Federal Reserve, they often receive them in standard denominations like $10 rolls.

By packaging quarters in $10 increments, sometimes called a "shotgun roll", it simplifies the process of counting, handling, and distributing coins in everyday transactions. It's a manageable and convenient amount for businesses to use as a cash reserve for making change and $10 bank rolls are also a convenient way to manage and store junk silver quarters. 

Many of these coins will have been minted for general circulation more than 60 years ago. The condition will range and all are likely to show evidence of handling. Junk silver quarters are one of the most popular choices for those who want to begin investing in physical silver. These coins contain a known quantity of silver and are one of the most liquid precious metal investments.
