Keeping a diverse collection is key when investing in silver and the 90% Silver Coins (Smaller Bags) makes it possible for any budget! Each bag consists of 90% silver coins minted from 1964 and before, ensuring the validity of the silver. All of our 90% Silver Bags contain only common dates and are sold specifically for their silver content; the lower minted dates are sold separately for a higher premium. When using the term, "junk silver," the word junk is referring to the lack of numismatic value the coins contain and not the actual condition the coins are in. The 90% silver coins are in circulated condition, ranging from Good-Extra Fine, and the dates are also mixed. 90% silver is increasing in popularity and is a commodity that will soon be difficult to find.
