I got divorced when I started collecting silver. That was 12 years ago. I have managed to collect over 3000 oz since then. The ex was into buying furniture, cars nic nac stuff etc. Wonder how that's going to work out for her....Sorry, I know that was a left field comment... ;-)

It's pretty cool when you can get 100 year old historic gold and silver for around spot price. Best value around IMO.

Yea my wife didn’t really understand it either until we used some of our silver we stacked to pay cash for a 7 day Caribbean vacation lol we have everything marked what we payed and what we sold it for and we she saw the math on what I payed and what we got for it she was then sold she now helps me coin roll hunt always looking in her change for silver lol it’s awesome when your wife actually is on board and understands what protecting your wealth means

If there is ever a run on silver, 90% will be gone first.

If silver goes up even the older silver dimes can be worth $10. It will be handy having half ounce pieces or less.

Silver and gold have the ring of truth. Buy silver now or regret it the rest of your life.

You can never talk too long about Silver and gold, or coins. Enjoyed it 👍👍.

When silver price starts running upwards,constutional silver will fetch a higher premium.it also tends to be harder to find.as they get older they will become more highly appreciated.

Mercs and frankies are my fav. You dont have to check the date or edges to check if they're silver, you just know looking at them unlike rosies and washington quarters. Plus the designs are pretty neat too. Walking lib halves are cool but they're hard to find in nicer condition without paying a premium and are usually pretty worn.

I love junk silver and coin roll hunting. When spot price is high, it's one of the best low premium silver values around.

I have to disagree about avoiding silver with no dates. The intrinsic value of the silver alone is worth getting it while it's available because when the reset happens....

not junk silver, its coin silver.

Great video Speg! I enjoy the way you commentate and explain your knowledge you imbibed and retained on your journey with your viewers and more. I started at age 8 and have been in the hobby for 36 years and as much as I have learned, I still learn new things and enjoy seeing the coins and bullion as always. Best, SilverCityCoins&Bullion, Aaron

I’ve always loved the constitutional silver and no I didn’t fall asleep nor did I find this boring. How could anyone find the topic of silver boring ? Thanks so much for all the details and making of this video. 👍

I’m definitely a collector of such fine Historical coinage

when it comes to junk, Franklin halves are my favorite..

Two years ago was a great time to buy 90% I wish I could get it for that price now.

Picked up 20 standing liberty quarters and 20 barber quarters...all full dates...from my LCS “bucket” last week for 13 times face. Really nice coins. I don’t particularly stack quarters, but I just couldnt leave the little fellas behind 😁

I agree with you on junk silver being history in your hand...modern day treasure hunting is a great analogy...Awesome constitutional coins there!!!

Lot of great history there. And classic designs. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

You can count me as another 90% fan. But I’ve been a coin collector since I was a child, love the history of money.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Great video buddy, so much info to take in with coins! Thats part of the reason i slowed way down on my coin collecting and started stacking. Plus it got to the point where i was only needing key dates and would rather spend the money on bullion lol. thanks for sharring Speg love your channel man!!

Refiners don't even buy 40% anymore last I tried.

Great video Speg. I love the constitutional silver. Being a stacker, I usually turn away from the old Barbers and SLQ because of the wear. I know they have a better premiums on them usually and it's not to say I don't have any. Just if given the choice of a roll of Barber dimes and Roosevelt dimes, I'd take the Rosies (assuming the Barbers were the normal wore down ones). However, chances are I could sell the roll of Barbers for more but again right now, I'm trying to get as much silver for as low cost as I can...stackin' hard 😀 Thanks again Speg...great discussion!

Smashed the like button! Love getting as much 90% silver as I can!

Great video, Spegtacular, thank you.

Love Constitutional. Part of my stack as well. Shtf coins are awesome. Great video!

Went to my LCS this weekend, love me some Mercury Dimes, found a bunch in their junk silver bin...and Barber quarters, got real excited when I found that one. And Franklin halves....got a couple of those. Man those three are my favorite. One coin shop in my area just lumps all their junk silver in bins based on face value....another separates his Barbers and charges more....love me some constitutional silver. Going to fill up a tube of Mercury's, then a tube of Franklins....doubt I can find Barbers unless I buy them off the web.

Rosie's are without a doubt my favorite coins to stack.

Speg! 3 years after you posted this I'm watching it lol. Thanks man. Just bought $40 yesterday.

Good call in 2019. Now, as of 04/16/22, the premium is 24-27 times face value. ‘Junk silver” isn’t cheap now!

I have only been buying silver bars but junk silver sounds like a pretty good stackable security Avenue. Thanks for the advice. I'll take it.

I like that Spegtacular button you have on your glove. I also wear my gloves sometimes when I'm going through my coins. I know they are circulated coins but why expose them to more oils in your hands. Thanks for sharing this great video.

I bought a lot of U.S and Canadian constitutional silver in 2013. My coin dealer was having a hard time getting Maples, so I went that route. Haven't bought much of them since then. He had a whole bag of U.S. half dollars. I think I bought the vast majority of them. Gave each of my kids a roll of 20 half dollars for their birthdays. My grandkids gets an ounce of silver and a gram of gold for their birthdays and Christmas.

I avoided dollars, but I want at least 20 (Peace dollars because they are more beautiful than Morgans) of them because I like the way they clink when I shuffle them from one hand to the other. And I might try putting as many as I can on my elbow and catching them in my hand like Fonzie!

Nice video. Actually, the type 1 Standing Liberty quarters 1916 rare date and valueable , the no date slik coins can and are idenrifable. The difference between them and others is the die change at The base of the back of the neck and the hair change. I have seen certified PCGS and NHC examples sell for in excess of 2k bucks.

I wanted to share my junk silver story...... I saw an ad on Craigslist where a small time retail dealer was selling some junk silver for spot price (he probably was short on cash). He had a bunch of silver quarters that I was interested in and he said I could look through the pile and pick out any ones I wanted.So I was picking out a lot of shiny ones that were mostly 1963 or 1964 dated because I knew they had more silver content than the older, more worn quarters. One of the shiny ones I picked out was a 1930 something date but I didn't look at it too closely because I didn't want to draw too much attention to it. When I got home I saw that it was an uncirculated 1937s which I promptly put on Ebay and it sold for over $50. !! You should have seen that poor dealer's face when I told him about my lucky find and how much I sold it for on Ebay !

Also check for West point mint mark quarters.

Was just gonna ask about junk silver and here's the video. ha! I just learned that I shouldn't clean my coins too. Did not know that. I'm going shopping today. Thanks

Thanks for sharing! Great video!

Another awesome video- I always loved collecting dimes- I have an old piggy bank of just dimes - I’m going to look though them tomorrow.....at least $100 in dimes in there - maybe I’ll find some silver in there💰👍 if not, I guess I’ll have to go to the LCS....😊

Wish I saw this video when it was made three years ago.

I like Franklin halves. It's a slippery slope from bullion to numismatic !

Is there a difference between cleaning versus washing? I put my Constitutional in a colander and gently wash and rinse the coin pile with dish soap and water, but I'm not using silver cleaner for a high gloss.

I like finding Spanish American Wreck site coins on Treasure Coast beaches in Florida near the wreck sites after tropical storms and hurricanes. Going in the water is illegal & even the remote sites have cams. Also don't park in a FEDERAL parking lot because metal dectetor possession on Fed land is serious time, fine & bye-bye detector & booty. 🐥😘

Great video. Bought a bunch of half's on Thursday . Love the stuff.

The Book with all the mintages please tell me what its called and where do you buy it?

I love the Merc's for sure !

Heads-up...rumor is the Stock Market is going to raise the cost of silver! So, buy and save your silver. The rich elite are going to try to jack the silver prices up. Thank you for educating me! Subscribed! 😊

Thanks for the great information !!!!!!!

70d half is the tough one in 40% silver .🤗

Thank you Speg.

I did it to when i started collecting sovereigns and ended up with only gold value ! the the coin was worth $3000 ! ONLY ONCE ! Now i study what i buy and gloves !

Great 1916 Barber...very nice!!!

I use coinflation silver melt value calculator enter coin and how many tells you weight in silver and current price works great

Coin shop near me sells 1965-1969 Kennedys for $2 each. Melt is like $2.50. Easy money!

Hi Spegtacular, how do you about graded coins when it comes to US Constitutional vs Bullion?

Yep Roosevelt was 33° free mason who served 3 terms as President. However during one of his terms I believe it was his 2nd where he was hospitalized with polio, Lady Roosevelt served on his stead. Great vlog! I'm going roll hunting today hope I score!

Nice Speggy!! 😛😛😛😍👏🏻👏🏻🤓🤓🤓

I planned to stick to 1/2oz buffalos and 1oz pure silver eagles.... is that enough for a good diversity or should I have some 90% quarters? I just stick to the fact that there’s no fuss since you KNOW it’s pure but I’m open to options

One more plus of constitutional Silver is there isn't the premium associated with bullion. Nice vid BTW! 😃

Great video Speg! I wish I could buy silver currency coins like these but those are taxed 15.25% here in Montreal ;( If I get a chance to get some privately I will!

Thanks for another great video. There was actually one cleaned coin I bought on one occasion that just by getting it slabbed by pcgs I was able to sell it for 140$ more than what I initially paid. I believe it was 1900-S morgan in Genuine Unc -Cleaned. Some times I will do stuff like that if I know I can flip Morgans. It takes a lot of time searching to find good deals like that though.

I just bought a tone of 90% junk quarters. Any tips on sorting rare and more valuable coins in the stack? Great info. Keep it up 👍

Constitutional silver is always the way to go for people that just like to stack silver. Just buy common dates and slicks and you can stretch your money way further.

I wish junk silver was still cheap. It's expensive now and getting harder to find.

That 1916 barber dime was obviously cleaned. No question about it. But it was clean probably along time ago and then naturally toned after the cleaning. It’s probably only a VG grade but cleaned 50 years ago

Every American should own constitutional silver, a minimum of $100 face. I've made certain to put together $1000 face divided by 10 groups for family members, because most of them have not prepared. I live by the Boy Scouts motto:"BE PREPARED."

I have a 1905 barber dime.it is by far the most perfect barber dime I have ever seen with my eyes that I could hold in my hands.I never realized how beautiful these are. Once you see one in perfect condition you will most likely agree

Great Information!

Love the 90%. nice video brother. Hope all is good! Have an awesome weekend! Cheers.

Don't know if anyone knows how things are really going to shake out with silver.in the future. So what I have been trying to do is stack a 1/4 in 10 oz bars, 1/4 rounds, 1/4 bullion coins and 1/4 junk silver. Is there anything else I might be missing? It could just be when the time comes silver is silver. It does make it a little more interesting doing it this way though.

Good morning spegtacular. have a awesome day.

Other than junk silver, I really like buying cutlery. Always find it below spot.

boa coleção de prata👍👍Parabéns pelo trabalho

I’d like to hear others opinions on a question I have. Say there is an economic collapse, do you really think you can walk into your local grocery store & trade a few mercury dimes for food? I have silver & I’ve never been able to grasp the concept of bartering with precious metals for tangible goods in the event of a collapse. How will that work? Will some govt official have to make a declaration or will the public have to agree that pm’s can be used? Also, if the economy does take a dump & silver prices go up enough to sell, what are you going to sell your silver for, a failing currency? Just some thoughts.

Point well taken......thanks for you correcting me......ooh

I have been paying 17 for eagles rite now. 3.00 for quarters 1.15 for dimes

Outstanding!!!! Bob

I was wondering what "junk silver" meant. It probably means that it's not 99.99 pure.

I think you get a better bang for your buck collecting pure silver bullion coins or bar. Another Overtaxed Payer has a video that looks at the cost per ounce. Junk silver used to be good at one point in time when you could find some silver coins in bank rolls. Now you have to primarily get junk silver from coin shops or order bags of junk silver from the US mint. These options can be quite pricey. These coins are also not .999 or .9999. They are no doubt silver but unless you are familiar with silver content in US coins, it is not the best option if you are looking at quantity, quality and price when stacking silver.

I will never trust junk silver for change in a purchase. I will always insist on .999 purity PM. I would be concerned that the junk would get mixed into everyday clad coinage.

Love my Junk Silver. I found a 1932D in at worst VF Condition for 11xFace!! You can check the vid!

are you kidding you can be a News caster.keep it up and good find.good luck..

I love the American history, “Americana”, aspect of coin collecting so that’s why I gravitate towards the coins that were actually used as currency. Plus, in the event of an economic collapse, I believe that many people will find comfort in the familiar and it will be easier to use these kinds of coins to buy day to day items.

Great Channel, appreciate the content.

Roosevelt was one of if not the worst president ever!

Thanks again Speg!

Lol dude love the Ring Of Power lol!!!!!! Good video.

I am buying the 40% Kennedy's for $2.00 from my coin dealer.

How much would you spend or how much is a junk silver quarter worth?

I think your "proof" barber dime is a coin that had been cleaned and re-toned.

Constitutional is the best deal oz per dollar wise I can get here lately so I’ve been buying it the most.

just to let you know that 1953 Franklin half no mint mark which is Philadelphia is the semi key date. and it has a nice lustre and in au to bu condition will worth a lot of money on ebay! 1955 P Franklin is the key date!

I have started to collect coin sets for the birth dates of my Grand parents. Grandpa on dads side was born 1894. I am going to try to obtain every U.S. 1894 coin made for that year. One in memory of each grand parent. Sounds dumb but I cant use any coin I already have. Regards from Ody

Where do you buy your junk silver? I am starting out with silver stacking.

LOL. Nobody cares what Franklin looks like because that SILVER coin looks beautiful.

Junk silver is the best bang for buck value.

Economic collapse? Who could imagine such a thing?!
