Silver Valuation

$ilver valuation is always tricky. It is best to use a coin melt calculator. See below for one that can be used for American, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian $ilver coins.

For those with “smartphones” there are two apps that I use and recommend for easy calculations, PCGS Coinflation and SilverGold.

I like this $ilver value calculator.

Here is a site that lists melt value by all coins, US Coin Book.

Junk Silver Coins, also known as US 90% Silver Coins, generally refers to old US currency coins whose valued is based on the silver bullion value of the silver content they contain. These are 90% silver quarters and dimes minted by the US Government before-1965.

90% Junk Silver Coins are still official US currency and thus can be used as a means of legal tender face value payment yet it is often saved and held for the long term given the silver bullion value contained within them.

Old US silver coins were once commonplace and formally part of our nation’s standard circulation coinage. Beginning from the signing of the 1792 Coinage Act continuing until silver was formally removed from large circulation coin strikes by the 1965 Coinage Act.

In the modern silver bullion coin industry, older once circulated silver coins are often sold in ‘face bags’ which measure the total ’legal tender’ face value each bag contains. Therefore, a $25 Face Bag could contain 100 silver quarters or 250 dimes or a combination of both quarters and dimes.

Regardless, you are guaranteed $25 in Face Value when you purchase this which equals approximately 17.88 ounces of pure Silver.
