Design Features

The rich history of American coinage is represented in these junk silver lots through various iconic designs spanning over a century of US Mint production:

Available Designs and Denominations

Historical Information

The US Mint began producing 90% silver coins in 1836 with the introduction of the Seated Liberty design. This specific 90% silver, 10% copper composition remained consistent across multiple denominations until 1964, when rising silver prices led to the discontinuation of silver in circulating coinage. Today, these circulated silver coins are sought after by Southwest Florida investors looking to acquire silver coin bulk lots, particularly those interested in pre-1964 US coins for their consistent 90% silver content.

Notes

The term “junk silver” refers only to the coins’ bullion status and does not reflect their historical significance. While these circulated silver coins may show wear from circulation, they remain valuable for their guaranteed 90% silver content and represent an important part of US coinage history.
