Junk 90% Silver Coins | $1 Face Value

$1 of Face Value, 0.715 Ounces of Real Silver

Junk silver is the plainest way to hold pre-1965 US silver: $1 in face value of circulated dimes, quarters, or half dollars, every one of them struck before the Mint pulled silver from circulating coinage in 1965. Roughly 0.715 ounces of silver rides on every dollar of face, so the math never changes even when the denomination does.

Real Money, Not a Reproduction

Every coin in this lot spent time as actual currency, not bullion made to look old. Dimes carry the Roosevelt or Mercury design, quarters carry Washington, and half dollars carry Franklin’s Liberty Bell or the single 1964 Kennedy, the last year that design was struck in 90% silver before the Mint dropped to clad coinage the following year. Struck for circulation, each one shows the wear of a coin that changed hands for a living.

You Don’t Pick the Denomination, and Neither Do We

Your $1 of face value ships as whatever the mix on hand supplies: ten dimes, four quarters, or two half dollars. Specific denominations, types, or dates cannot be requested, and a larger order may arrive mixed across all three. No rare coins are included on this listing. That cuts both ways: you are not paying a collector premium, and you should not expect to find one either. The silver content is identical no matter which denomination you get.

Same Silver, Every Denomination

Whichever coins arrive, they carry the same 90% silver, 10% copper alloy the US Mint used across dimes, quarters, and halves through 1964. Every dealer in the country recognizes junk silver on sight, and the face-value math, roughly 0.715 oz per dollar, holds regardless of which coin you’re holding.

Specifications

This lot mixes three denominations under one $1 face-value listing, so purity and alloy hold steady while the exact coins, dates, and mint marks vary by order. Purity stays fixed at .900 fine no matter which denomination ships. Full details are listed in the Specifications tab above.

Junk 90% Silver Coins FAQ

What denominations might I receive?

Ten dimes, four quarters, or two half dollars, whichever the current mix on hand supplies for each dollar of face value you order.

Because this listing sources from mixed inventory rather than a sorted denomination. If you want to choose dimes, quarters, or halves specifically, those are separate listings.

How much actual silver is in $1 of face value?

Roughly 0.715 troy ounces, the same regardless of whether it arrives as dimes, quarters, or half dollars.

Are any of these rare or valuable beyond their silver content?

No. This listing is 90% silver coinage only, with no rare coins included.

What condition are these coins in?

Circulated. Expect honest wear from time spent as everyday currency, with full rims and readable dates.
