$10 Face Value Junk Silver

Circulated 90% Silver coins, sometimes referred to as junk silver are a great way to add more weight to your silver stack.

The coins in circulation that were minted before 1965 were made from an alloy of 90% silver (ag) and 10% copper (cu).

Elemental silver has natural anti-bacterial characteristics and is resistant to corrosion which make it an ideal metal for coinage.

In it's purest form it is one of the softest and most malleable metals. Metallurgists learned that blending in a small amount of copper provides strength and durability.

These silver coins were pulled from circulation with the introduction of copper/nickel clad coins as industrial demand for silver rose throughout the 1960s.

Many were hoarded for the intrinsic silver value.
