[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2763640, member: 23778"]Depends on why you are buying 90%. There are two reasons: as a means of barter; as a vehicle to preserve wealth. For the former buy coins which were never minted in base metals. That way the potential barterer does not need a close inspection. This means dimes before 1947, quarters before 1931 and halves (best choice) before 1963. Of course, most people are thinking in terms of wealth preservation in which case total silver content is more important. In this case the less wear the better and so as close as 1964 as possible is best and denomination is not as important. Silver dollars are not junk silver, as they have a higher silver content and are generally sold individually unless they are very low quality.[/QUOTE]
