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!

$1.40 Face Value = about 1 TROY Ounce I realize there is a typo but I was just “toying” with you 😏🔥🐉

[vaan]

Honestly this was an amazingly helpful guide, I'm a new investor (in pretty much all things!) First 2 ounces of silver I bought was in bars and cost me $31 per ounce. Now I know how to lower my dollar cost average and make lemonade out these lemons!

[ODVenture]

I’m just getting into collecting, thank you so much for explaining this!

[revansecofreak]

This is the ultimate guide. I work at a coin store and frequent this video often to explain 90% silver to my customers.

[laceytaylor]

Definitely helpful advice that I needed. I’ve often questioned my purchases after leaving a store if I overpaid or got a fair deal. Appreciate the GUIDE!!!😃

[Brian-usvx]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your time spent in making these videos is very much appreciated! God bless!

[ronaldmitchell]

Dude- i noticed that guitar pick amongst ur stack. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING ON MY DRESSER RIGHT NOW!!!
Every week i buy silver at my LCS and stack it on my dresser for a few til i get out the vault and sort it into the prospective place. But the pick always stays…rock on, bro…

[jameycollins]

Thanks sooo much for posting this! Finally an in-depth video on YouTube about buying junk silver. This is really going to help me with my junk silver purchases!

[bobloblaws]

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).

[joeybill]

This has helped me realize that most of the "junk silver" being sold by most vendors is priced at least double it's true value. Thank you for explaining this to us Silver Dragons

[danklein]

I just found your channel. Your video's are fantastic for learning about silver.

[darrellwilson]

One of the best videos I've watched about stacking, thanks for breaking this down.

[Threedog]

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.

[jeffm]

Very helpful. Thank you from a brand new stacker!

[stevewoods]

Just watched again for the second time. Thank You!!!

[YoutubeHandle]

Just been stacking recently, can’t wait for your videos to come out. Thank you so much for the content you put out.

[kalolawahine]

I find your study & guidance worth it’s weight in gold!!!

[Jason-vnxj]

Gotta say thank you so much for this video! I just picked up some junk silver from a private seller that worked out to $19.04/oz after using your calculations. Spot as I type this is $22.64. Thanks, dude!

[jonnystacks]

I've been getting junk around the 13x and I'm not mad about it. Premiums are crazy right now but I love adding junk to my stack!

[venezuelanstacker]

The face value multiplier is extremely useful, I wish I knew this when I was more newbie, still a newbie here in youtube though. You have a new subscriber, Venezuelan stacker will show more love to you from now. Thanks for sharing.
