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!

      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).

    • @anonymous071985
      @anonymous071985 Рік тому

      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Coin shop in Harlingen TX was trying to sell me dimes at $2 ea. That multiplier is off the chart, lol. Ty sir, good info 😁

    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.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! QUESTION: what is your opinion on the state quarters? Are they worth collecting?

    I enjoyed your video Silver Dragons! Even though buying junk silver is the cheapest way to go, I'd be afraid of someone selling a bunch of slick coins that I call slugs and reducing the weight of the coins!

    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

    I've been collecting for 14 years, never really understood the "lingo". Thanks so much

      My sentiments exactly, except it's literally been 14 days.
