Why "Junk?"
It sounds odd to call old silver coins "Junk," but most of these coins are categorized as 'junk' because they have been in circulation for a long time and are generally in poor condition.
These silver coins have no numismatic value or a collector's premium, above the amount of silver contained within them.
In addition, dealers of junk silver coins, usually check the coins for any collectible coins, which is why few people find any real collectible coins in these coin lots.
Gresham's Law
Junk Silver Coins are old pre-1965 circulated coins that Americans used to use in everyday life.
The Coinage Act of 1965 was signed in response to coin shortages caused by the rising price of silver in terms of a devaluing U.S. dollar, the shortage of silver coins in 1965 was blamed on "Gresham's Law."
Gresham's Law is a monetary principle stating that "bad money drives out good."
Money that has intrinsic value because it contains a precious metal will be over-valued and will leave the country or disappear from circulation due to hoarding.
While money that has no intrinsic value and is made of base metals or easily manufactured commodities is undervalued and will flood into circulation. - Sir Thomas Gresham (1519–1579)
After 1965, Gresham's Law was in full effect by Americans hoarding these old circulated silver coins.
Since 1970, after the last 40% Kennedy half dollars was minted, these silver coins have become increasingly harder to find.
Face Value vs. Intrinsic Value
The term "Face Value" is used Only in the terms of the Total Face Value of the Coins' themselves.
Examples:
- 10 dimes = Face Value of $1.00
- 200 half dollars = Face Value of $100.00
- 4000 quarters = Face Value of $1000.00
Junk Silver is often sold in bags of the Face Value's above. However, this is not the price you'll be paying when purchasing the coins; you'll be paying for the weight of the coins at Silver's Spot Price.
Silver Spot Price
|
The spot price for silver, is the price for a troy ounce of silver. Junk silver coins have a silver alloy content ranging from 35%, 40% and 90%. When you are pricing "Junk Silver", try not to let the "Face Value" confuse you with the real 'intrinsic' value of the Silver contained within the Bullion Coins. |
