<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7753808, member: 103207"]Pre 1965 silver coins are only considered junk silver if they are a common date silver coin that is heavily worn or damaged. Even some Morgan & Peace dollars can be considered junk silver. Same for coins from other countries. The coins that tend to be considered in the junk silver group are Kennedy & worn Franklin half dollars. Worn Walking Liberty half dollars. Even mint state 1964 Kennedy half dollars can be considered junk silver because they were horded. Washington quarters, Roosevelt and Mercury dimes of non key dates. However, you should always check for key dates and error coins. Also if they are extra fine or better you may want to set those aside. Early dates in the Washington quarters and Mercury dime series tend to be sought after by collectors to fill their Dansco Albums. Trading for ASE's isn't worth the effort because they are currently over priced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
