<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dan8802, post: 1197608, member: 28296&quot;]Sure thing. The way we measure how much silver is in a pile of 90% is actually very easy.&nbsp; For every $1 Face Value (aka 4 quarters) there is .715 ounces of silver.&nbsp; The great thing about it is that it doesn&#039;t matter if its half dollars, dimes, quarters, or a mix of all.&nbsp; All you have to do is add up how much these coins &quot;face value&quot; is worth then multiply by .715 then by the spot price of silver.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So if you have a half dollar and 2 quarters, OR 2 quarters and 5 dimes you have .715 ounces of silver.&nbsp; so a half, quarter, and dime would be a face value of $.85 X .715 =.60775 ounces of silver.&nbsp; This goes for quarters, halfs, and dimes, minted 1964 and prior. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When buying, I always go for the newest or best condition coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This comes from the fact that there is about 715 ounces of silver in a $1000 face value bag of quarters halfs or dimes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now .715 accounts for a normal amount of wear, brand new coins would have about .723 of silver</p><p>Morgan silver dollars and Peace dollars have .77 ounces per coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
