Maximize Your ROI: Understanding the Value of Your US Silver Coins
We are experts in buying and evaluating every piece of U.S. coinage containing silver. We focus on the metal content, providing you with a high melt value for your collection, often referred to as "junk silver."
The 90% Silver Standard (Pre-1965)
These coins are the gold (or silver) standard for collectors and investors. All Dimes, Quarters, and Half Dollars from this era contain 90% pure silver and are highly sought after by bullion dealers.
| Denomination | Common Design Names | Dates for 90% Silver | Notes |
| Silver Dollar ($1) | Morgan, Peace, Seated Liberty | 1794 – 1935 | Generally 90% silver. |
| Half Dollar (50¢) | Kennedy, Franklin, Walking Liberty | 1794 – 1964 | All are 90% silver. |
| Quarter (25¢) | Washington, Standing Liberty | 1796 – 1964 | All are 90% silver. |
| Dime (10¢) | Roosevelt, Mercury, Barber | 1796 – 1964 | All are 90% silver. |
The 40% Silver Clad Coins
These were minted during the transition period when the U.S. government reduced the silver content in its coinage. They contain a mix of silver and copper.
| Denomination | Design Name | Years Minted (40% Silver) | Notes |
| Half Dollar (50¢) | Kennedy | 1965 – 1970 | 40% silver clad (80% silver outer layer, copper core). |
| Dollar ($1) | Eisenhower ("Ike") | 1971 – 1976 | Collector Editions Only. Look for the "S" mint mark (San Francisco). Circulating Ikes are copper-nickel clad. |
The 35% Silver "War Nickels"
During WWII (mid-1942 to 1945), nickel metal was diverted for the war effort, leading to the minting of a unique 35% silver alloy coin. They are easily identified by a large mint mark (P, D, or S) over Monticello on the reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Are my coins valuable as collectibles (numismatic value) or just for silver (melt value)?
- A: For the vast majority of circulated 90% silver coins, the value is based purely on the melt weight. If we find a rare date, key mint mark, or specific variety with genuine numismatic value, we will absolutely notify you and offer a price that reflects the collectible rarity, ensuring you get the highest payout.
- Q: How do I identify a 40% Silver Eisenhower Dollar?
- A: Look for the mint mark "S" (San Francisco) on the reverse side above the date. If the coin has an "S" mint mark and is from 1971-1976, it is most likely one of the 40% silver collector editions.
- Q: What is the benefit of selling silver coins over other forms of silver?
- A: US silver coins are globally recognized, easily verified (by date/size), and highly liquid. They are often easier to value and sell than unmarked scrap silver, making them perfect for generating quick cash.
