Junk Silver Bags

"I have been interested in buying some junk silver coins and keep hearing a term - junk silver bags. What does that mean?"

First junk silver is a great investment and hedge against inflation and the further eroding value of the dollar. Junk silver, pre-1965 U.S. silver coins, dimes, quarters and halves, represent a real investment in silver as they contain 90% silver by weight.

Although many silver investors purchase silver in small quantities, such as in rolls or loose, coin dealers prefer to deal in bags. A bag is described by its weight of the coins it contains.

For instance, a quarter pound bag contains a quarter of a pound of junk silver quarters, dimes, halves or a combination of the three. Now the weight is not the number of coins, but the weight of silver content. So a quarter pound bag actually weighs more than 4 ounces.

GovMint, our featured advertiser, sells quarter pound bags of junk silver for as little as $99.00 making it an affordable way to get into the precious metals investing game.

Bags can contain more than a quarter pound with popular sizes being quarter, half, full pound and larger sizes. After a certain limit however, it can become impractical to purchase larger bags, especially for transport.
