Message:: [QUOTE="dennis5151, post: 8586722, member: 90596"]I love running through a bag of "junk silver" or "culls".I have put together six partial "junk" dime albums. One for each grandkid. The most valuable dime I ever found was an AG 3, 1916 D.  It was worth $300 back then, about $1000 now. In "Prepper" terms, Junk Silver or cull coins are bought for the purpose of holding silver for trade or investment.  For prepper purpose, coins should be bought by weight due to wear on the coins, which can drastically knock the silver content. Silver dimes are preferred when prepping for a disaster. War nickels may be even better but expensive and harder to get.  The theory is:  If you have to trade a coin for food, the trader will not have change for a quarter or larger coin.  Everyone should prep for another sun flair like the 1869 Carrington Event.  Computers, automobiles, and other electrical stuff in the affected area will be fried.  No open banks, no food checkout scanners, no credit card charges, etc.   I know, too much un-asked for info.  If coin blogs are a dime a dozen, prepper blogs are a dime a baker's dozen. Coin blogs are more interesting but don't discount the other as a total waste of valuable internet time.[/QUOTE]
