<p>[QUOTE="juris klavins, post: 4147078, member: 76693"]Agreed - most online dealers advertise $100 FV bags of circulated 90% silver coins to contain 71.5 troy oz. of silver - I've purchased lots of 90% bags over the years and after washing the coins in hot soapy water and drying on towels, the 71.5 oz. figure is a good estimate - 1964 JFK halves will top out at 72+ oz, while Walking Liberty halves, quarters and Mercury dimes are always below 71 oz.(lots of slicks in there) - Roosevelt dimes are usually right around the advertised 71.5 oz., as are Franklin halves.</p><p>If you can buy at a low premium, go for the 1964 JFK halves - lightly circulated, more silver for the $$ <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

If you can buy at a low premium, go for the 1964 JFK halves - lightly circulated, more silver for the $$ :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
