Buy Junk Silver Coin Bags of Silver Half Dollars

Acquiring US half dollars that were produced before 1965 and put into circulation is a well accepted method of investing in silver bullion coins. These coins are also known as "junk" silver, or 90% silver, along with pre-1965 dimes and quarters. In the 1970s, "junk" silver became a thing. Astute individuals started removing these coins from circulation and exchanging them for dollars according to their silver content. The phrase was used by coin dealers to set apart more valuable coins that they intended to sell for more money from more commonly used coins that had little collection value. Increasing the coin prices on "junk" silver to attract customers who are more concerned with the silver content than the coin's condition.  

Bullion traders exchange these coins on a large scale these days. Because they frequently cost less than other US bullion coins, including US Silver Eagles, they are quite popular. In addition, half dollars are significantly smaller than one-ounce American Eagles, with each one containing.358 ounces of real silver content. Investors who are prepared believe that lesser denominations of legal, identifiable US coins are perfect for bartering. 90% of US silver half dollars are not junk, even though that is how they are sometimes referred to.

These half dollars are a great store of value and come in three varieties: Liberty, Franklin, and Silver Kennedy half dollars. At the face value of one of these coins, fifty cents, could have bought 1.667 gallons of fuel for Americans in 1964 when they went gas shopping. That amount of gas is still nearly equal to the value of these coins today. Silver's buying power has held up extremely well, even though the fiat dollar may now buy significantly less.

These are "honest" coins of money. The gold and silver standard that formerly supported our currency has been abandoned by politicians and central bankers, and they have done a good job of shielding investors from the devaluation of the US dollar.

How Much is a 1964 Half Dollar Worth?

90% silver and 10% copper were used to minte all US silver coins released in 1964 or earlier. Please be aware that no pricing computation takes into account the uncommon coins' copper content. There is only value in the silver content! What, therefore, makes investing in these silver coins wise? A complete junk silver coin bag ($1,000 face value) has 715 ounces of silver since each dollar of face value has an actual silver content of .715 ounces. Although half dollar silver coins from before 1965 are older and have historical worth, their price does not increase in accordance with their age, condition, or collection value. Unsorted coins with a range of minting dates and coin conditions are given in each batch.

Are Silver Half Dollars a Good Investment?

There are a few benefits to using silver half dollar coins made before 1965. They are perfect for bartering in smaller trades because, first of all, they are substantially smaller than 1 ounce products. Second, this type of silver gives a small premium over the spot market price of silver, much like a generic round of silver. "Junk silver" frequently has a market value that is extremely near to the coins' true melt value. By selecting half dollars over more costly options, investors can obtain more ounces of silver for their intended expenditure. 

Thirdly, even though their face value is merely $.50, they are legitimate U.S. currency. Even though it would be quite foolish to use these coins for face value, there is some faith and confidence given to them by the fact that they are recognized as legal money by the US government. When the time comes to sell or exchange them, that can be significant. Ultimately, because silver trash bags are purchased and sold in large quantities, they are extremely liquid and simple to acquire and sell. 

When an order from a client is released to be packaged and dispatched, silver half dollars are machine counted into bags. Utah Gold Buyer accepts orders with a minimum face value of $5 (10 coins).
