A $100 face value bag of 90% silver half dollars is one of the classic bulk buys in the constitutional silver market, delivering 200 half dollars containing approximately 71.5 troy oz of actual silver. Every coin was struck by the US Mint in 1964 or earlier from the 90% silver, 10% copper alloy that circulated as everyday American money for generations. Bags arrive in a canvas coin sack, the traditional way bulk silver has traded for decades.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 90% silver, approximately 0.715 troy oz of silver per $1 face value, roughly 71.5 oz per bag
- Metal Type: Silver (10% copper alloy)
- Face Value: $100 USD (200 x 50¢), US legal tender
- Designs: Mixed Kennedy (1964) and Franklin (1948-1963) half dollars, dates and mint marks vary
Bag contents draw from the classic silver half dollar series. Expect 1964 Kennedy halves, with Gilroy Roberts’ portrait of the president and Frank Gasparro’s presidential seal eagle, alongside Franklin halves showing Benjamin Franklin’s profile opposite the Liberty Bell. Both types carry LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST inscriptions with dates at the portrait. Mix ratios vary with available stock, and some bags may include other pre-1965 half dollar designs. All coins show honest circulation wear, which is exactly why this category trades at some of the lowest premiums in silver.
Halves are a favorite within junk silver because their larger size means fewer pieces to count than dimes or quarters at the same face value, and the 1964 Kennedys in particular tend to survive in heavier, less-worn condition than older coinage. The face-value math stays simple: multiply face by 0.715 to know the silver content of any amount, which makes these coins effortless to price, trade, and divide for barter purposes.
Recognizable designs, government-struck authenticity, and serious silver weight in one bag make this a cornerstone bulk purchase. Order your $100 face value bag of 90% silver halves today, supplies of pre-1965 coinage only get tighter.
