In this video I talk about junk silver in 2024 and if it is still worth it to be stacking junk silver. If you are wondering what junk silver is then this is the video for you. Junk silver is US Mint half dollars, quarters, and dimes that are from 1964 or older. $1 Face Value (circulated) of junk silver = .715 Troy Ounces and $1.40 Face Value = about 1 Troy Ounce. Junk silver coins are not being minted anymore and can be in high demand. Currently junk silver coins have relatively low premiums although they still may be higher than that of generic bullion. Premiums on junk silver coins were much higher after covid but have gone down recently. I think that it is wise to be stacking junk silver because it can be used for barter. My favorite type of junk silver is the mercury dime. Check out my Mercury dime search below:

Hey SD, I still have heartburn with constitutional silver. 90% coins (junk silver) should be sold at no more than spot. I can, we can, they can say the coins aren't being minted anymore which is a valid argument. But, beware, your LCS will give you less than spot for it. So buy as close to spot as possible and hold on to it for long term. Happy Stacking all.

@wasillastacker 3 месяца назад

I feel the same way I have never felt the urge to buy any junk silver except for a half a dozen Morgan's and Peace dollars because I got them at damn near spot.

@davidcergnul4660 2 месяца назад

Dont buy junk for silver weight, buy it because its fractional and the biggest reason is when silver jumps in price, you have something in hand for barter. No farmer will make change for your 1oz

@johnhatfield6751 2 месяца назад

In the 1960s and 70s my parents owned 2 laundries as their second source of income. We would go every Wednesday and Sunday nights to "rob" the machines and clean everything. Washers and dryers took quarters and dispensers took dimes. My father taught me about silver coins and my pay for rolling all of the coins was to keep the silver. At age 68, I still have every quarter and dime I earned for rolling probably thousands of coins.

Second story. I was a the credit union changing out coins for cash. I'm friendly with the teller and we were talking about constitution silver. She made sure I understood before I cashed in. (I do). She told me about an elderly lady who came in to cash coins from years ago. The machine wasn't taking it. The teller told her about the silver content and to see a coin shop to cash it in. Neither she or I ever found out how that turned out. I hope the old lady was able to get a lot more for the coins than what she thought.

I grew up in the 1960's. Just think back at all of the opportunities for stacking back then. Well at 5,6,7 years old I was not thinking of such things. The money went into the cheap metal safe that every kid had. When you had enough, you put it in rolls and traded it for paper. When I got 500 bucks of birthday money, I deposited it all and got my 1964 D five coin mint SMS set. Yes they used to give you a choice of gifts for opening or adding to your saving account. I still have that set. It is just beautiful without a nick or mark on any of the coins. They came in the Whitman plastic hard case of course. The quarter looks like a cameo PR70.

I like the junk because it can be kept in a trunk. No need for tubes or cases. Just throw is in a tin or some empty vases. It's already dirty, it's already scratched. There ain't no need for keeping it wrapped. So go on and buy some and then buy some more. Buy it 'til you need extra support for the floor. A gallon of gas was twenty-five cents in '73 and junk a silver quarter buys a gallon today if you please.🙂

I inherited coins from my family. We’ve lived on the same land for around two centuries and in the northeast for four centuries. I ended up with a dusty old bag of coins. My family kept cash and coin on hand for the lean times. I a bunch of constitutional silver. Some of it pretty old. Along with pennies and Large cents. I had a grungy piece of copper that I thought someone threw in from an old piece of machinery or something. Got to looking at it and realized it had something unintelligible on it. I cleaned it according to sources and discovered an 1803 Large Cent underneath the grime. I’ve been stacking silver and gold of my own for a bit, but never got the Constitutional Coinage bug until I inherited these. Have been mulling collecting some more. I like it for the historical and numismatic value more, I think. It’s just really cool to hold history in your hand. I’m not sold on the bartering idea. I stack the bullion for savings and it’s turned into a decent investment. Now I have the coin bug. Thanks for your videos. I’ve learned a lot.

I pick up US junk silver when I travel to Michigan. Pro tip to my fellow Canadians. Junk US silver is a lot cheaper in the US then Canada BUT when you cross back into Canada you are supposed to pay tax on it for importing collectable items. I just mix them into the change in my cup holder, pocket and never say anything

my favorite and 90% of my stack is constitutional. the history in the coins is awesome in my opinion and and the small denominations are awesome if youre bartering. plus as you said, its a limited amount of it out there and when its a popular season for it, the spread becomes crazy and you gain a great premium if you decide to sell. i love them too...i cant get emough of the merc dimes and the barber halves...prob my 2 favorites other than the 19th century confederate struck coins. those are more into numismatic and less stacker friendly though unfortunately

@brianfreland9065 3 месяца назад

pro tip, if you like using the canvas bags like i do, and you dont want to write on or mark up the bag, you can just use a cool rope with a tag on it showing your face amount. that way when it changes, you can just replace the paper tag rather than having a grafitti bag haha

"Junk Silver" has always been my favorite and the only thing I have stacked since 2017. I love its history and bejng able to just hold it in my hands. Since they no longer make it, I feel that it will eventually command very high premiums. I also like my junk with patina. If it is cleaned, the history aesthetic is pretty much gone.

I have also added World War III Nichols that have 35% silver. When the silver dime has a melt value of $1.80 the silver nickel has a melt value of about $1.40. A little bit better barter item however, I do recognize the learning curve will be steeper with the war nickels.
