Silver has captivated people like myself for over 6,000 years. Around 700 BC, Mesopotamians used precious metals like silver and gold as a medium of exchange. Many other civilizations also recognized the natural value of this silver as a trading metal. In ancient Rome, the denarius was minted, which contained 1/7 oz of silver; and in Greece, the drachma was the coin of the realm, weighing 1/8 oz. The English “Sterling” was originally a certain weight of silver, and even in our time, denotes excellence. Many human civilizations through history have valued silver, whether as household goods like candle sticks, jewellery, silver spoons and coin money. Silver bullion is a high . 999 % purity and a tradable form of silver. The silver industry produces bullion in the form of bars and coins. Bullion is priced based on the spot price value of the metal, plus a minting fee. Most of the time, big bars have little collector value because it is bought and hoarded for the silver content. On the other hand, bullion coins in resent years, like the 5 dollar silver maple leaf coin, have started to have collector value, in the rarity of the number of coins minted in some years. Any coin is collectible if you enjoy the items you collect. If that be silver bars with odd sizes, different companies logos, or odd numbers. Collecting can be fun, if you the enjoy the thrill of the hunt. This makes your silver hoard stockpile more enjoyable. Silver bullion is a popular investment from 1,000 oz bars to the Canadian 1 oz 5 dollar silver maple leaf coin. They can be stored for safe keeping, or an investor can leave it to his heirs. Silver bullion coins and bars typically are measured in troy ounces. When bullion is stamped . 999 pure, its weight and purity is guaranteed by that mint. If you buy one troy ounce bar or like the silver 5 dollar maple leaf coin, you will get one troy ounce of pure silver. Larger denominations are also available, such as 5 troy ounces, 10 troy ounce rectangular bars, all the way up to over 1000 ounces. No matter what size bars or coins you purchase, you can be assured that the weight and silver content is reliable. Having the weight stamped assures the purchaser that if he ever decides to sell the bullion, he will receive roughly that weight times the spot price of silver in cash. You can invest in silver bullion along with your stocks. The peace of mind that comes from something stored away for as long as a person wants with no risk of losses (as happens sometimes with stocks) is appealing. There is something about being able to hold silver maple leaf coins and bars in one’s hand. That is desirable in these uncertain times. Stock certificates don’t shine like silver, so investing in silver bullion coins and bars holds a special appeal. This is one of the reasons silver is prized as an adornment the world over as well. Silver commemorative coins and medallions that mark special occasions and events during the lifetime of the owner have sentimental value, as well as monetary value. Their value as historical pieces increases as does their value as precious metals. To find these kinds of items, it may be necessary to seek out specialty dealers who specialize in commemoratives and collectibles. These are an often overlooked avenue of investment potential. Investing in bullion bars and coins is the obvious answer for anyone who would prefer to store their silver in a safe deposit box or a safe at home. Paper money has never been a very good safe haven because inflation eats up its value. Precious metals, such as a 5 dollar maple leaf silver coins and bars almost always outpace inflation and devaluation of paper money.
In times of economic uncertainty, people often seek to protect their nest egg by investing in precious metals. Precious metals historically rise when the value of a fiat currency falls. In today’s market, pre-1964 US junk silver coins like the 1964 silver quarter the twenty five cent piece , 1964 silver half fifty cent piece , 1964 silver dime ten cent piece and 1964 silver dollar hundred cent piece U. S. A these coins all contain 90% silver provide an affordable and liquid silver investment opportunity. These coins like the silver quarter were in general circulation until 1964 and contained 90% silver volume per coin. Because they were circulated coins, they can still be used as currency in a survival situation, saved to reap the benefits of a rise in silver price, or used as a hedge against inflation. Although coin collectors call them “junk” coins, they are far from what the nick name may imply. Junk silver coins are good investment in my mind. Originally a junk silver bag of coins equalled a $1000 face. Today, bags are typically sold by dealers in junk bags of $1000, $500, $250, and $100 dollar face-value lots. Remember, these are face value, not actual value, bags. Pre-1964 US silver quarter coins can also be bought in rolls, making it quite easy and affordable to invest no matter how much money you have to work with. Originally, a junk silver bag of $1000 face value would contain 723 oz of silver. Because of wear and tear from circulation, these previously circulated coins generally contain around 715 oz, while weighing a total of around 55 lbs. To find the price per ounce, simply divide the price of your junk silver bag quarters by 715. Usually a bag of 1964 junk silver dimes will be made up of mostly Roosevelt dimes minted from 1946 to 1964. It is not uncommon to also find Mercury/Winged Head silver dimes (1916-1945) as well. Because of their earlier mint date, Mercury dimes will be more worn than Roosevelt’s. If you want a bag of only Mercury dimes, you will typically be charged extra. If you order bags of silver dimes, you may sometimes find some Barber dimes (1892-1916). Older dimes, such as the Seated Liberty (1837-1891), Capped Bust (1809-1837), or Draped Bust (1796-1807) will rarely be found in a bag, but keep a sharp eye out for these rare coins. A junk bag of pre-1964 silver quarters can contain Washington quarters (1932-1964), Standing Liberty’s (1916-1930), or possibly a few Barbers (1892-1916). Barbers and Standing Liberty’s are usually quite worn and very rare, but they can still be found in a bag of quarters. Seated Liberty’s (1838-1891) are much rarer, and you’ll likely never see these in bags of “junk” quarters. Kennedy (1964) and Franklin (1948-1963) half-dollars appear with equal frequency in bags of silver half-dollars. Occasionally, Walking Liberty’s (1916-1947) and even Barbers (1892-1915) can be found as well. Always pay attention to special promotions from coin dealers to detect price rises early. Seated Liberty’s are much rarer, and you will not likely see these in your silver junk bags of coins. Because more quarters and dimes were originally minted, half-dollars usually carry a higher sell price because of their relative rarity and popularity. In fact, the Kennedy half is the most popular of pre-1964 US silver coins. And bags with all the same type of half-dollars are priced higher for obvious reasons. Half-dollars tend to have less wear and tear than the other coins as well. These circulated junk silver coins are easy to liquidate in an emergency. Bags can be separated into smaller quantities, and the coins can also be sold individually. In dire times, you could even use them as currency at your local grocery store. This, combined with their relatively cheap price, makes these so-called” “junk” coins an attractive investment as a safe-haven. Do to the fast moving silver market I do not give personal investment advice.
