a resource for coin collectors and investors
Circulated pre-1965 US 90% silver coins (commonly referred to as "junk silver coins" because they have little or no collector value), essentially are silver bullion investments because a bag containing $1,000 face value yields around 715 ounces of pure silver.
Many silver investors like to buy their US 90% silver coins in rolls of $10 face value, so you get a roll of 20 silver half dollars, or a roll of 40 silver quarters. Dimes generally come in $5 rolls, so you get 50 silver dimes per roll. 1964 Kennedy halves are a popular choice.
Premiums on 90% silver coins rise and fall depending upon supply and demand but generally speaking you should be able to buy pre 1965 90% silver at around the silver price, in our opinion this represents a great way to invest in a real tangible asset.
