The Ultimate Guide to Buying Junk Silver
This video is my guide to buying junk silver. 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. At the start of the video I do a junk silver unboxing showing 3 packages I recently received. These coins will all be added to my junk silver stack. When you are calculating prices $1 of junk silver face value can be any combination of coins. When looking at junk silver vs bullion it is clear that junk silver can be harder to price and buy. Junk silver investing can be done with confidence when you use my face value multipliers which are listed here:
10x = $14.00
11x = $15.40
12x = 16.80
13x = 18.20
14x = 19.60
14.3x = $20.00
15x = $21.00
16x = $22.40
17x = $23.80
18x = $25.20
19x = $26.60
20x = $28.00
My favorite type of junk to buy is without doubt junk silver dimes, but a favorite of stackers are the Kennedy 1964 half dollars. Junk silver quarters don't get as much love but they are great for stacking as well. The best junk silver to buy is the kind that you can get for the lowest price. The best place to buy junk silver is the place that is offering the lowest price. When buying junk silver coins on ebay or from any private party feel free to reference this junk silver buying guide to make sure you are getting a good price! Happy Stacking my friends!

This is the ultimate guide. I work at a coin store and frequent this video often to explain 90% silver to my customers.
I’m just getting into collecting, thank you so much for explaining this!
Honestly this was an amazingly helpful guide, I'm a new investor (in pretty much all things!) First 2 ounces of silver I bought was in bars and cost me $31 per ounce. Now I know how to lower my dollar cost average and make lemonade out these lemons!

truth is within there’s been a slow and steady decline of silver that’s been brought up to the surface. COVID exasperated that shortage and that’s what’s caused the price hike.
Thanks - I made a google sheet I can access on my phone with 2 inputs (Total Price-TP and face value-FV) and an output (TP / FV / 0.715). This eliminates the slight rounding issue of using the rule of thumb at 1.40. It really opened my eyes to how big the premiums on junk is today (Oct 2022).

Easy. Just buy at face values in base 10. Then you'd just need to remember to divide total cost by the number 715 . Just move deci around for the base 10 you bought. $1 face divide .715 $10 face divide 7.15 $100 face divide 71.5
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your time spent in making these videos is very much appreciated! God bless!

Been binging on these old videos the past couple of days. I learned a lot. This was particularly informative, even though the spot price of silver throws your buy point off. I also liked your Gold / Silver ratio explanation. I knew what it was, but you explained how to put it into practice, same with this video.
Kind and honest presentation...TY!

Silver guitar pick? Wow so cool, thank you sd for more content.
Usually, my dealer will have the same price on both BU and circulated junk Silver, so I always go with the BU. But to get junk prices for BU coins, they have to be no older than Benjis, Roosevelts, or Washingtons. He'll also some times throw in the common commemorative coins.
Excellent video👍
Thanks for the guide Dragons! Just a heads up for newer stackers, as Dragons stated the junk is only the halves, quarters and dimes. The chart doesn’t apply for Morgans or Peace dollars as they contain more silver than the “junk” silver coins. Of course, if someone is selling Morgans or Peace dollars at 12x - 14x face then jump on that!

Yes most of my coins are Morgan and peace dollars and does the video apply to this at all and what would be a good price to buy and sell
this explains a lot for me. A thousand ounce bag of constitutional silver equals 715 ounces. It's not 1000 ounces and that's the trick. It's deceiving. The face value of a dollar is very different than the one ounce. As of today 5/14/23 the price per ounce on SD is 36.27 an ounce. Ouch. Now that I understand I just went online to see what the junk silver is going for. I can get 1 oz. rounds for less than that. Even the maple leaf is cheaper. This just saved me a pile of money and I appreciate it. I have junk silver from years ago. I'll keep that since it seems to be worth more than new minted silver.
I know this is a pretty old video but it's still true to this day. Except silver us more and people are paying high premiums. I love the Mercury dimes. But like I said people are paying thr high premiums. Anyway good video and great advice. I enjoy your videos because you talk slow and you make it so interesting fir beginners. So keep it up and keep on searching for what you 👍 like

I'm still new... but if I want to have silver vs having the money in the bank, does buying 90% Silver Coins - $50 Face Value Bag good? I got it for $930. I'm still so lost, it's like there's a ton of information but I haven't found a video of what I need it. I thought I was stacking but my fear is the dollar losing its value so I want to start collecting silver and even if nothing bad happens I have that security there for me or my kids.
Thanks for the help
Great information Silver Dragons
This has helped me realize that most of the "junk silver" being sold by most vendors is priced at least double it's true value. Thank you for explaining this to us Silver Dragons

I got screwed on my first sale of junk silver. I was basically forced to toss it in for free with the private, public and foreign silver coins I had that were pure silver. Where is the best place to unload junk silver if I have to sell it short of the apocalypse? Have you done a video, Silver Dragons, on that subject? Or could you possibly do one when you have time? Selling pure silver to a store is quick and I at least get market back with a little small talk, but if I am collecting and investing in junk silver at all I want to be able to get at least market on a sale, if not get my premium for the private middle. Thanks in advance! I love your videos. You are a lot more honest and a lot less hype about the business and your opinions of it, than a lot of the guys who are pushing their sales here.
Just subscribed great information.
I love old coins so for me this is all I will buy for my stack. I want history, not some modern rounds with no story behind them...
I just picked up two tubes of Silver dimes. $5 FV each tube. Got them bought for 67.50 per tube. Not too bad for a quick pickup
0.6 oz Canadian pre 1968 silver dollars are the bomb here. Easy to evaluate the price/weight beautiful coin and always under/on spot at my lcs.
I found the problem here. Finally after watching this like 15 times. SD never mentioned that you have to reduce the FV to $1 so if you divide the selling price by 10 or 100 you have to also divide the FV down to $1. That's what I was missing. Instead of multiplying the $5 FV roll by 2 you could just divide by 5 (to reduce the FV to $1) and you'd get the same result.
This is an EXCELLENT video and well detailed for junk silver. The only thing I would add if you ever do an update to this video is what the current spot price is of silver while making the video because youtube only shows "4 years ago". Spot for silver in 2020 was anywhere from $11.68/ounce to $29.91 per pounce. My assumption is spot was around $18/once while making the video, as you mentioned the most you would pay is around $20/ounce or 14.3X, but no way to know as it is not mentioned.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! QUESTION: what is your opinion on the state quarters? Are they worth collecting?
I'm new to stacking and this was extremely helpful! Keep up the great work!
Love those Walking Liberties!
