Prior to 1965, U.S. Dimes, Quarters, and Half Dollar coins were 90% Silver. Kennedy Half Dollars minted between 1965-1969 and also 1976 were 40% Silver Clad. Eisenhower Silver Dollars, issued from 1971-S to 1974-S and 1976-S are 40% Silver Clad.
Some of these silver coins have little or no collectible or numismatic value and are thus referred to as “Junk” Silver coins. Also, some silver dollars -Morgan and Peace dollars- may also be considered junk but have higher premiums. Unlike newer 1oz. American Silver Eagle bullion coins, junk silver coins contain only 0.72338 troy ounces of .999 fine silver per $1 face value. So, a $1,000 bag of junk silver coins contains 723 troy ounces of .999 fine silver. Premiums may be lower - compared to other silver bullion products - but junk silver has risen in popularity and scarcity.
