One of the most cost effective ways to invest in Silver is to invest in US Currency with a high silver content. In the 1960′s, the value of Silver started to increase. The Federal Government passed legislation to remove the majority of Silver content from coins in circulation.
Since then, pre-1965 Dimes, Nickels and Quarters have become great ways to invest in Silver. Today, you can buy “Face Value” bags of these coins. This means that you’ll receive a fixed number of coins, usually a nice round number like $100, and pay the going price of silver for them. The coins that are often offered here are United States coins Pre-1965 that include:
- Silver Mercury Dimes
- Silver Roosevelt Dimes
- Silver Barber Quarters
- Silver Standing Liberty Quarters
- Silver Washington Quarters
- Silver Barber Half Dollars
- Walking Liberty Half Dollars
- Silver Franklin Half Dollars
- Silver 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars
