Circulated 90% Silver coins are frequently referred to as junk silver and are a simple and easy way to add more weight to your stack. Dime, Quarter and Half-Dollar coins issued by the US Mint that were minted before 1965 were made from an alloy of 90% silver (ag) and 10% copper (cu).

The natural anti-bacterial characteristics inherint in silver have made it an ideal metal for coinage throughout history. In it's purest form, it's one of the softest and most malleable metals. Metallurgists learned centuries ago that blending in a small amount of copper provides strength and durability. The US Mint began minting coins using this alloy in 1792.

These silver coins were pulled from circulation with the introduction of the copper/nickel clad coins as industrial demand for silver rose throughout the 1960s. Luckily, many of these coins were hoarded by savy people who understand the intrinsic silver value.
