    So only all the US silver coinage? Sure you don't want Trade Dollars too?
    What research do you do yourself?

    Kind if a silly question really. Anything which has a grade which does not command a premium over spot.

    But then, based on some of the other questions you have asked perhaps I should not expect you to think that far ahead.

    Until the OP is willing to engage the board in even the most modest ways, his questions should be ignored imo. Being as he's clearly capable of asking questions, common sense dictates he's also able to respond to those trying to help him, or simply asking for him to clarify.

    I'll give this one my answer and walk away. Morgan dollars are never junk unless holed or damaged. Peace dollars are not junk above Good. Seated coins and bust coins have to be dateless, or completely trashed/damaged for me to consider them junk. Everything else you mentioned... walking standing Kennedy, Barber, Franklins, war nickels, Roosevelt's, mercs... junk for these can be up to Fine condition for me, varieties aside, of course.

    I think I said this a little more succinctly.

    Isn't the term "coin silver" sometimes conflated with the term "junk silver" in reference to coins of 90% or less silver content regardless of condition? Just asking.
