Junk Silver Coins - "Face Value" & Prices (Dimes, Quarters & Half Dollars)

China, Iran & The End Of The Petrodollar (TRIPLE DIGIT Silver Forecast) ► • China, Iran & The End ...
90% Constitutional silver, or "Junk Silver" coins are priced differently than most bullion products. While rounds, coins, and bars typically are priced by their weight, either in troy ounces, grams, or kilograms, Junk Silver coins are priced by their "face value".
In this video I will do my best to explain what this term means, how much silver these coins actually contain, and how to avoid paying too much for 90% silver half dollars, quarters, and dimes.

    I used to be very bothered that 90% coinage was priced with a multiplier times FV. I figured out that my worry was not the pricing, but the fact that I couldn't make a clear comparison between that and all other Ag which is priced by the troy ounce. Throw in the 90% is often circulated and worn in some degree, you don't even get the BU condition of 1ozt Ag coins or rounds. Erg! Too many variables! I discovered that I can take the multiplier (as 23x FV, then this is the 23) and multiply that by 1.4, and this would give me the price per troy ounce. Good! Down to one variable, the matter of condition. So if I want $1 of FV at 23x, I can see that I'm paying $32 per ounce (even though 90% $1 does not have a full ounce, but the 23 is the fraction of an ounce that corresponds to the 32 for a whole ounce. That's why it works. Now then, after all that, if BU silver coin is $30, I'm getting more for my money by getting the BU silver coin instead of the 90%. and then it's just what's your own goals for the usage to decide whether you buy the 90% at higher cost per ozt.

Two years earlier it was less than 6 bucks an ounce. Two years later in 1982, it was less than $8 dollars per.

    Using .715 silver on pre-1964 dimes, quarters and half dollars you would want to know by the ounce. 1.4 x .715 = 1.001 ounce. Work off $1 worth face value. Examples: Ten dimes at $2.20 cents each = $22. 1.4 x $22 = $30.80. Use spot at $23.50. $30.80 - $23.50 = $7.30 premium. Four quarters at $5.50 each = $22. Two half dollars at $11.00 each = $22. You can pay less premium buying other silver. But, bartering may be easier with constitutional silver.

    I'd imagine they just base it on supply and demand. If they keep selling out, raise the price. If inventory isn't moving, reduce the price. Of course it's tied to movement in the spot price, but supply and demand is ultimately the factor that drives fluctuations in premiums.

    Where can you get $1 face of junk for $17 four days ago? Lol- Everywhere I look junk runs from the upper $20s going into $40. Even the big metal sources are charging fairly high premiums. Silver was around $24 when this vid was released and idk anywhere selling junk at less than spot, but maybe I'm missing something. Only been in this since January, and when I started asking around what to do to get the most silver for my $- i was told time and time again that junk was sold less than spot. Still am yet to actually see that for sale anywhere online and def not in shops by me lol. In fact by my math with the fact that you don't even get 3/4ths of an OZ per $1 face included, shows junk to have higher premiums than some top world bullion coinage, depending on where you buy it. Im finding ebay with free shipping to be the lowest price to spot lately. So it Seems like 'premium' culture has hit constitutional silver, or maybe it was there all along if its always been sold by $fv

    I love your channel. Thank you for this excellent presentation and explanation about 90% silver coins. However, @11.27 you show us that SD Bullion is SELLING 90% silver for $267.61 per $10.00 face value but @11:56 they are BUYING it for only $200.00 per $10.00 face value. I realize every business needs to make profits, but that's a 33.5% profit. A 33.5% profit seems a bit excessive, especially when the demand is larger than the available supply.

    I'm not sure about you, but when I sell something, I try to sell it for as high a price as possible. And when I buy something, I try to pay the lowest price possible. This is how any rational market participant behaves, I don't know why we would expect SD Bullion, or any bullion dealer for that matter, to behave any differently.

    I dont get it. I looked at halves and quarters junk. The silver content is based on new coins. Many I have seen have a lot of ware on them and really contain much less actual silver than what they did when new. So you aren't getting what you are paying for unless you can find some with very little ware its better to buy rounds or coins that actually weigh 1oz.

    Let me encourage you to no longer call Constitutional Silver 'Junk': Systematically using the term 'Constitutional' will remind everyone that silver still legally is money, while the currency of today (nickel etc.) is not. Also, 'Junk' is a bit of a derogative that I would NEVER use about anything that is Constitutional, or coined silver. Of course, others might still use the term 'Junk', that's worth a mention, in passing :)

    I know some stackers don't like the term. I don't really care what we call it, at the end of the day it's real money regardless of the label. 3 reasons I say "junk" more often than "consitutional": 1- fewer syllables 2 - it is the more commonly used and recognizable term 3 - the local coin shops I started shopping with as a new stacker called it "junk" so that's what I call it out of habit
