What is Junk Silver
Junk Silver is used to describe pre-1965 silver U.S. dimes, quarters, halves and dollar coins. These coins contain a whopping 90% pure silver and can be found in your pocket change.
With silver trading at record highs, now is the time to get into junk silver!
Kennedy half dollar coins, Kennedy halves, are a common circulation coin which contain silver in a few certain years. Be on the lookout for these
Kennedy junk silver coins for the silver content!
The Kennedy halve was introduced in the 1964, the year after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
What is the silver content of the Kennedy half dollar?
The 1964 version, like the quarter and dime of the same year, is 90% silver. These have .3617 troy ounce of real silver. At today's silver prices, that equates to $5.46 for a single fifty cent piece. Nice return. However,
1964 Kennedy halves are hard to find naturally.
Good news though. Kennedy halves minted from 1965 to 1970 are still 40% silver. That means the still have a value at today's rate of $2.23; not too shabby. And halves from this time period are actually quite common.
There are some simple ways to get Kennedy silver halves. You can buy them online or from a coin store. Or do what many junk silver hounds do. Purchase a few rolls or even a flat ($500.00) of silver halves from the bank. Sort through them and there's a good chance of finding at least a few 1968-1970 halves in there.
Either way, hang on to those
Kennedy half dollars. Silver prices have soared the past two years and look to only go higher in the future.
