My very favorite part about junk silver is finding it in the wild! It’s so rare, but when they’re found amongst a bunch of clad, it’s like you said “treasure”
I love the walking liberty halves! Can’t get enough of them. Over time I think they’ll be the first of the “junk” silver to have a greater numismatic value like the Morgan’s and peace dollars.
I stack it all. But I love constitutional silver aka junk silver, because of the history of it. How many hands it went through, the kids that went to the store to buy a coke. Or like my father told me many of times how they all got two dimes to go to the theater. A dime to get in and a nickel each way on the bus. If you bought popcorn, you walked your ass about 10 miles home. Which they did many of times.
Most of my silver is 90% for the same reasons as you - especially the fractional nature of it and how you can play with it. I also use it as a weekly dammit I made it through the week purchase on fridays. Working on completing a tube of half dollars right now, then it’ll be a tube of dimes or quarters. $25 won’t get me a round or ASE. it’ll get me 2 halves or 4 quarters or 8 dimes. It adds up.
The majority of my stack is constitutional for many of the same reasons you discussed plus I was born when constitutional was still being made. Semper Fi brother
It’s been at least a week of shopping for 90% silver. I love the dimes and quarters. I just bought 2 more rolls of Rosies after listening to you. You can never have enough of those sweeties.
I absolutely LOVE Mercury Dimes! Morgan Dollars and Mercury Dimes! There is just something about a nice looking Mercury Dimes with a mint mark! I try to pick up around 50 Mercury dimes every month.
Love me some constitutional silver. I found an old standing liberty quarter today metal detecting I was quite pumped. Keep the great videos coming stash, you are quite knowledgeable and well spoken for a jar head!
Today was my first time metal detecting. I was at a very historic lot a family member of mine owns.. I was told way back when people ran a produce stand there.. I’m finnin to do it again there soon!
@@StatesideStash I mentioned you in my video today. Sorry I said it wrong. 😳 I corrected myself in the description. Hopefully I’m sending more subscribers your way. Thanks for the inspiration for today’s video. Happy Stacking!
Still watching, on reason #1 YES im a strong believer of this, just a hunch, I think of this especially with morgan dollars getting even more specific. Already this is a banger and I just love 90%
Yep I think Morgan’s have already started that path and in the following years all junk silver will have the same course of action. That’s why I’m buying what I can now!
I keep my current year "Liberties" (what I call silver eagles, because I can be a retard) in tubes; my current year fractional gold eagles in flips; and my 1879-1901cull Morgans in a wooden cigar box. Other than Morgans, I've never bought pre-1964 coins because, as you imply, that's getting into numismatics. Not knocking numismatics at all, but I just prefer to stack bullion coins because to me it's a no-brainer. Also, I love me some Bison Bullion 10 ozt poured bars!
I agree with you about: - The "feel" and "clink" of silver is really nice !! 😻 ps, edit: Also just think about how many "things" those coins have purchased, how many hands have held them and passed them along, the energy exchange they participated in, .... or how many of them were saved in some kid's pocket or jar! Some of my coins are over 100 years old. "If only they could talk" haha.
Oh what a fun topic!!! Are there really people who " don't like the term Junk Silver?" Lol... FEELINGSSS LoL! people there are bigger things to worry about! I love Junk Silver, its like the underdog, derogatory, the bad boy of silver, we all want it yet momma says to stay away lol! Junk silver great to own. Because its called junk doesn't mean it's junk, it's an honorary "coined" term to define it in its own special category. It is known currency, has utilitarian properties, numismatics, collectibility, is a precious metal, and used for hedging. I have a bunch in my collection. My LCS's always have it close to spot so I can buy multiple ounces or just pick up 3 or 4 to grow the pot. Halves, quarters, dimes are all fun to have around. A fun thing I enjoy doing is that I buy a box of 18mm capsules, I have a bunch of Mercury dimes, polish one up (since its already "junk"), drop it in a capsule and daily carry one in my pocket. What I really enjoy... is giving it away to random people. I leave them as tips, as I talk to people and they say "Its my Birthday today!" I like to brighten up a persons day and give them one, or is someone just is really nice to me at the market, post office, wherever... I like seeing someone's face and start asking a million questions right away! I tell people metals won't make you rich, but they will keep you rich! Keep enjoying life everyone! Semper Fi Stateside!
Yes I agree with you there will be less of it around as time goes by love it bought 100 mercury dimes today at 20 face getting Morgan's for 31.00 each but great looking what do you think about price?
Thank you so much for making this video! I love buying Silver coins! It’s my favorite thing to do! I’m not sure if anyone can relate to this but financially I am always living on the edge because of my Silver buying! I am pretty much always broke because any extra money I have goes to buying Silver coins! I feel extremely poor because once I buy the coins it’s out of site out of mind because I put it all in one of my safes. I know I have wealth and assets but man I struggle like I’m about to become homeless. Maybe I need an intervention because I can’t stop. I just feel we are running out of time to buy it so I’m sacrificing like my life depends on it. Please let me know if you can relate or if you think I have lost my mind and need help.
Don’t forget to treat yourself Derek! It’s important to stack and it’s addicting but give yourself a little bit of breathing room for the simple joys in life! Hope you had a great weekend
@@StatesideStash Thank you 🙏. I subscribed to your channel as well. :). You are so right. I need to give myself some room for sure! I started buying Silver exactly 9 1/2 years ago. I have purchased non stop without any breaks for almost 1 decade. 😂.
Never bought any from a LCS but I have searched lots and lots of bank issued halves, quarters, dimes and pennies. It is actually costing me face value for some coins that are really expensive. I asked my bank for silver dollars and she gave me my first Morgan for you guessed it a dollar. 50 dollar coin. Also found a Roman Coin from 280 AD in a roll of nickels. It is just too much fun finding stuff.
How should you take care of junk silver like flips or rolls ? I see lot people just shove it in bags what do u think is best? I have a lot of Franklin half’s and two hundred in dime rolls
Thank you for making this video I really appreciate it later round I’ll contact you with a question as far as a future trade a photo will be produced and sent to your email.
@StatesideStash The price is astronomical but makes it even more intriguing for me to read what's actually written in it. I'm going to research my local library system to see if they can get a copy.
Junk Rules! Mercs: the coins of my youth. Seldom had a quarter, Walkers, or Franklins, way above my pay grade. I don't search them or play, just know they are tucked away for a tiny girl's future. Past is prologue.
Mr. Stateside if 90% silver is called "junk silver" because of the purity, why dont we call pre 33 gold "junk gold"?? ;) For me Mercury dimes, Franklin halves, Cull Peace/Morgans are preferred since they don't look like todays pocket change. Might try a food saver bag for your bars, airtite and you can throw a silica pack in there if you like too..
I like the really old ones. I buy Morgan Dollars because everyone, not just Silver Collectors, everyone loves them, and most people don't know I'm not suppose to be cleaning them; they like them shinny!
@@StatesideStash I buy the dirtiest ones I can find. I clean them with my own Homemade Sodium Fluoride Copolymer. I get them cheap, because people do not like dirty Morgans. I have bought two per month for four years. I assure you having Dirty on a Morgan Dollar decreases the value of the coin. The acception would be and Morgan worth over $40 like a CC or a MS or a key date and mint. Fluoride and copolymers do not violate PCGS guidelines. I'm waiting for 5 Cleaned Morgan's to come back from PCGS
What is the formula if I want to find out how much 1 ounce of constitutional coins in weight of silver versus a 1 ounce generic round?? (using the same spot price for both)
So to figure out one Troy ounce of silver for constitutional silver is a combination of $1.40. So 14 dimes or 2 half dollars and 4 dimes or 4 quarters and 4 dimes. So todays price where I’m at 14 dimes will run me $28 for one Troy ounce of silver
@@StatesideStash THAT'S IT! I seen the explanation a few years ago and just now thought of it...I wonder if we should use that calculation when deciding which one oz of silver' is cheaper to buy between the two
easy math, 10% copper. government minted ... I got some capsules and books, just so I could make it look like it was special🤷♂️ and I ain't no nothing bout stacking 😜

I love the walking liberty halves! Can’t get enough of them. Over time I think they’ll be the first of the “junk” silver to have a greater numismatic value like the Morgan’s and peace dollars.
100% agree. The liberties and mercury dimes will be the first to separate themselves from the others
You are correct. Some online dealers already sell them for $1-2 higher over face. I think they are a beautiful coin.
On a tight shopping trip it's nice to leave with 3-13 coins for the same $$ as a 1 oz coin.
I stack it all. But I love constitutional silver aka junk silver, because of the history of it. How many hands it went through, the kids that went to the store to buy a coke.

No, it's called "junk silver" because it is considered by coin collectors to have zero numismatic value, i.e., only melt value.
There are several key dates for multiple denominations that have key dates dating after 1900 that have tremendous numismatic value
