A fascinating exposition of the positive attributes of 90% Silver. I will be watching/listening to this video again in the future, and I'll do a deeper personal dive into the cumulative case that you're offering. Incidentally, 90% Silver makes up fully 50% of my overall core Silver stack. I consider 90% to be the foundation of my Silver stack, though I do stack .999 Sovereign Silver weighted toward ASEs because I'm an American citizen. I also stack .999 generic Silver rounds and generic 1 ounce Silver bars. I tend to stay away from larger increments of Silver, mostly due to the reasons that I stack Silver. I'm looking to preserve the largest universe of possible buyers, and there is very little that can be accomplished by a 10 ounce Silver bar or larger that a collection of 1 ounce coins, rounds, or bars can't also accomplish just as well. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to make such a long and detailed video taking us through your ideas in this area. Definitely a video worth going over more than once, and you don't find that very often.
Another attraction for ME is that I'm old enough to recall when all the dimes, quarters, half dollars, and occasionally dollars, that were in my pocket and cash registers everywhere were these 90% silver coins. I was in high school when the clad coins began showing up, so I started putting the old quarters away, thinking they might be collectible some day. Of course, I was right, but I ended up spending them in high school and college.
Paper boy here who also collected some silver coins from circulation in early 1960’s. Kept my small collection. Bought some bags of 90% in 1983, fearing 1/2 Trillion in Federal debit. Started steady stacking in 2020. Wow, now Fed debt close to 35 Trillion. I am amazed at how they have kept this ship afloat. I got lots of silver lifesaver vests. It’s gonna be a wild ride.
The long form and depth of this video is simply superior to almost all of other videos on RUclips revolving 90% silver. Glad this popped up in my feed. Subscribed
A very informative video Dub-C. You are lucky to have kept 90% silver in America until 1964. Here in England we lost 925 silver coinage in 1919 to 50% and then all silver content in 1947. My hobby is metal detecting and you would not believe the amount of coins I find lost in agricultural fields. This way I collect precious metals with numismatic value for free. My oldest silver coin is a denarius of the Emperor Hadrian from 117-138AD. Thanks for the video.
@Dub-C_Coins I've found quite a few hammered coins , mostly Edward 1st 1290s. Also older King John 1199 and Elizabeth 1st. I've even found gold George 3rd 1762 quarter guinea. England has such great history to unearth.
I know exactly who you are talking about. The guy that was badmouthing the community for stacking a certain silver. The really ironic thing was he was claiming some people had a low IQ, and he was misusing words and misspelling words left and right. He claimed that the "hard" math was too difficult when in reality it was first grade math. I won't be clicking on any more of his videos. I don't want my IQ to sink from watching. Lol. If I were to make content on RUclips it would be about stacking. The only problem is there are so many of you guys that do it so well, that I fear that the mediocre content I could offer would absolutely get lost in the shuffle. I'll stick to being a consumer and let you guys that know what you're doing keep doing it.
I personally dislike 90% silver (here in the UK we have a plentiful equivalent that is readily available) but you make a series of excellent, well argued points in support of it. That is why I subscribe. 🙂 Great video - thank you!
Thanks! This was just a little of my stack but some of the best. I think you're right about .999 silver: the 1980s was when it really took off. But there was an earlier rush to .999 silver in the early 1970s with the silver "Art Bar" craze that lasted until just before the bicentennial in 1976. If you're interested, I touch on some of these topics in this video: ruclips.net/video/plLwOf71Oeg/видео.html
@@Dub-C_Coins You’re welcome. I’m just starting out myself. I hope I make it as far as you by this time next year. Uploaded a few shorts. Working on my first video. Thanks for the inspiration.
I just went and bought 33 1964 Kennedy half dollars 14 Franklin Half dollars And the 8 Silver Eagles he had out He had a shit ton of dimes though and I’m going down and getting a couple handfuls for sure! Constitutional silver will be the key
The US mint still makes 90% silver to current date in the form of silver proof sets , 😁 And some times you can pick silver proof set for the same price as normal run of the mill 90% . Thanks for sharing PPO out 😎
@@Dub-C_Coins started with purely generics, then world bullion, then bars. Now it's all about the dimes and ASEs. My appreciation has morphed. Love 90% Ag cant hear enough about it. Thank you DubC.
First, I’m a big fan of 90% silver coins and they make up the largest single part of my stack. One word of caution though. Be aware of circulation wear. The industry wide assumption is that it approximates a reduction to 0.715 actual silver weight per one dollar face value. That may be true for most coins minted in the 1960’s but older coins generally have more wear. The only way you can tell what you are actually paying relative to spot is to weigh the coins and calculate. I’ve seen heavily worn coin as low as 0.620 which is over 12% below what you expect to get using the industry standard estimate.
This is excellent advice. If you're stacking 90%, be careful with "slicks"--coins that have worn smooth over time. These are generally barber coinage but even mercury dimes suffer from excessive wear. It's easy enough to check rolls at your shop. Another reason to look for AU or even BU rolls of coins. If you're uncertain, stick with late-1950s to early 1960s coinage. Thanks, @barrymaness5814!
Great video. I would offer for consideration 4 billion people have no idea where their next meal will come from, and some people with enough money to buy precious metals take umbrage calling 90% “junk silver.” People and their First World problems always amaze me.
True, and it's good to keep things in perspective. Things are tight here in the US for some folks, too. So keep everyone who needs a hand in mind. Sometimes even a small gesture can change someone's future. Be generous when you can!
Wow that's a great question. I didn't go into details, but dimes probably have the most benefits. If they can be found uncirculated or higher quality circulated, and if they can be purchased with no more or even less premium than quarters and halves, then yep: Probably dimes.
I’ve been collecting exactly this as of late, i love those half dollars and quarters the history is awesome. So sad this information isn’t taught in schools
I have been stacking silver since 2002 back when it was very unpopular to stack I bought eight 100 ounce bars for $525 ea $4200 total I still stack although in the last 5 years I have only bought 90% US minted coins, dimes quarters and half dollars have not been minted since 1964 many have been melted each year they are becoming rarer, silver has no counterparty risk it is a store of value 90% is fractional, it is a monetary and industrial metal, I will continue to stack
A fellow long term stacker! I've got a stack of 100 ounce bars from back when silver was crazy low--but I sure haven't bought one in a long, long time. Smaller more interesting pieces for me. Easier to buy, easier to sell.
Another RUclipsr said junk silver is everywhere. That might be true. If fiat currencies are no more. How many coins per person will there be? Some people say paper money is worthless. I always ask them to give me theirs. They never do.
I buy really good slab of coins I like. I have a PF68 Franklin, and PF65 Mer it dimes plus MS67 Mercury dimes, and I have some Walker MS64,MS65, but I really want an SLQ mint state coin in a slab. I am having trouble finding any that are not crazy expensive.
Agree! Already getting harder, it's just not easy to see when you're in the trenches. Those rolls of uncirculated Franklin half dollars are not easy to find and they used to be common. Now uncirculated 1964 Kennedy rolls are disappearing. It's only when you stop to look around that you see it's not an on/off switch, just a really slow dimming.
I love constitutional silver even got the 75% 3 cent piece and yes in 1865 they started making them in nickle. Called the 3 cent nickle. But 1851 was 90% and in 1852 on only 75%.
I like this channel, where we branch off abit is as a stacker of Coin Of The Realm I don’t see the need for generic no matter the lipstick you put on it.
I like my 90% but my 23$ per Oz silver rounds look way better today than my 90% with those gouging premiums they put on them.Cheapest i got it was 18$ per 1$ face.
90% is always the cheapest premium wise unless you’re buying silver dollars. If you bought 23 dollar an ounce silver anytime in the last 3 months it came from China and isn’t real 😂😅
Great video again sir as a subscriber from England i enjoy your take on stacking in America would it be possible to get one of your channel stickers please the American gold eagle is my favorite coin happy stacking from English Dave 😃
I don't even call it junk Silver I use the term 90% Silver and I buy it when I can if I can get a good price on it! I am closing in on a $1000 face of 90% I enjoy it a lot
@@Dub-C_Coins yes thanks and the doesnt even include my collections I have complete books of like Washington Quarters, Walking halves, and Mercury dimes I do sure enjoy 90% Silver!
I thought it was a joke/satire channel at first too. He actually said some silver stackers are a “drain on society”. Also said worrying about the Federal Reserve and Fiat currency is stupid. Clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to or what he’s talking about.
That's a great collection. I'd probably find a local dealer and get offers--but don't sell unless it's a great offer. You could try an online venue like eBay but that's not easy, either. If they are slabbed pieces, you could try an auction company like Heritage (HA.com).
I refuse to buy Roosevelt dimes or Washington Quarters. I want to make sure that my coins are distinctly different from any clad coins to remove any potential confusion
That's fair and definitely a good point. But would it be harder to convince someone, in a SHTF scenario or otherwise, what a mercury dime or standing liberty quarter is? Not only do you have to convince them those are silver, you have to explain to them what they are--and they have to understand and believe you. It's tricky with no perfect answer. Good comment!
That's a great point and a great comment. Silver dollars aren't really considered 90%. Their size, their relative value, their desirability keeps their prices well above the silver content--even on really worn and damaged pieces we call "culls". I talk about why silver dollars aren't often included in 90%, and some of their other benefits and pitfalls in the 2-volume 90% Silver for Advanced Stackers videos: ruclips.net/video/tszIoHtNWXo/видео.html
@@Dub-C_Coins YEAH, I KNOW IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO RECUPE THE COST OF THE MORGANS AND PIECE DOLLARS, BUT I STILL STACK THEM, WHEN I CAN GET A REDUCED PRICE. BY THE WAY, I LOVE BOTH OF YOUR CHANNELS. THANK YOU FOR THE SHARED INFO!!!
Whyte, has anyone tried to define how much 90% is left, and/or how many dollars worth of 90% is being melted down every year or so? Is it shrinking at a measurable rate?
Whoa that's a good question. There are metrics that could be used but I don't think any of them would tell the full story. I would wager than less than half of what we would consider "90%" --circulating pieces from the 20th century--still remains. But that is probably conservative. It could be far, far less.
Mexico has a standard of 72% silver. Canada has 50%. 1965-1970 Kennedys are 40%. War nickels are 35%. But we don't call them "junk". At least not often. Of course you're welcome to call it whatever you like. I just think "junk" has negative connotations that it doesn't deserve. And "90%" is shorter and more specific.
@@Dub-C_Coins , was just listening to The Coin Geek on RUclips, on Constitutional, and he mentioned that, due to the variance of purity in many other coins, that is called World Silver.
@@rickbruceroche2038 Surely he wouldn't have said that 40% Kennedys and war nickels are "world silver". Similarly, in my decades of stacking, I've never heard the expression "very fine silver", and seldom do I hear "fine silver". Even the term "sterling" is falling by the wayside as "four nines", "three nines", "925", and "90%" become the norm--at least where I am. Again, you can call it what you like. "90%" is fast, easy, precise, and has no negative connotations where none are due.
@@Dub-C_Coins Maybe it's called constitutional silver since the constitution states only gold and silver Coin is a Tender in Payment of Debts. Article 1, section 10, clause 1.
Why do they call constitutional silver? is because of the Constitution says everything has to be done by gold and silver. The only reason that I collect silver and gold, because the currency is being overprinted. government could control trade values so if we did go back to gold and silver standard the government already printed would it be worth on the coin. The only reason why they use gold and silver yes it's in the Constitution but they printed a low value on the coin like $1 silver citizens= $30.00 government scrap $2.50 gold citizens = $500 government scrap it's for the citizens can do trade, the government can get 10 times higher price for scrap. Is it supposed to help with inflation and why the government says do not destroy government property and if you do you go to prison.
@@Dub-C_Coins just remember government can control trade and how much things are supposed to be. It'll be up to the citizens to decide what is a trade instead of the government ,corporations and organizations. By doing so it will collapse going backwards give more power to citizens. Another thing government can do if the citizens did try that they'll get them for fraud, criminal activity, and more.
If even 1 in 10 people outside of the US feels otherwise, that's still hundreds of millions of people who would know and trust US 90%. And I would wager that figure is larger than any other nation's silver circulating coinage--including the UK's.

That's a great point and a great comment. Silver dollars aren't really considered 90%. Their size, their relative value, their desirability keeps their prices well above the silver content--even on really worn and damaged pieces we call "culls". I talk about why silver dollars aren't often included in 90%, and some of their other benefits and pitfalls in the 2-volume 90% Silver for Advanced Stackers videos: ruclips.net/video/tszIoHtNWXo/видео.html
@@Dub-C_Coins YEAH, I KNOW IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO RECUPE THE COST OF THE MORGANS AND PIECE DOLLARS, BUT I STILL STACK THEM, WHEN I CAN GET A REDUCED PRICE. BY THE WAY, I LOVE BOTH OF YOUR CHANNELS. THANK YOU FOR THE SHARED INFO!!!
Whyte, has anyone tried to define how much 90% is left, and/or how many dollars worth of 90% is being melted down every year or so? Is it shrinking at a measurable rate?
Whoa that's a good question. There are metrics that could be used but I don't think any of them would tell the full story. I would wager than less than half of what we would consider "90%" --circulating pieces from the 20th century--still remains. But that is probably conservative. It could be far, far less.
Very Fine Silver is .9999. Fine Silver is .999. Sterling Silver is .925. This is why 90% is called Junk.
Mexico has a standard of 72% silver. Canada has 50%. 1965-1970 Kennedys are 40%. War nickels are 35%. But we don't call them "junk". At least not often. Of course you're welcome to call it whatever you like. I just think "junk" has negative connotations that it doesn't deserve. And "90%" is shorter and more specific.
@@Dub-C_Coins , was just listening to The Coin Geek on RUclips, on Constitutional, and he mentioned that, due to the variance of purity in many other coins, that is called World Silver.
@@rickbruceroche2038 Surely he wouldn't have said that 40% Kennedys and war nickels are "world silver". Similarly, in my decades of stacking, I've never heard the expression "very fine silver", and seldom do I hear "fine silver". Even the term "sterling" is falling by the wayside as "four nines", "three nines", "925", and "90%" become the norm--at least where I am. Again, you can call it what you like. "90%" is fast, easy, precise, and has no negative connotations where none are due.
@@Dub-C_Coins, you are correct on the very fine … but why do you seem to want an argument? You may continue in this vein, but I’ll simply unsubscribe,
Can we just put Constitutional Silver in the Webster dictionary because it’s certainly not junk silver
I seem to be one of the few, but I actually don't like the term "constitutional". It's just such a big word when "90%" works better.
Anything but "junk" I am fine with
90% is great if they are priced right. You can obviously get ripped off with cull us 90% junk dimes or any other denomination
@@Kenlydford true. Great point!
@@Dub-C_Coins Maybe it's called constitutional silver since the constitution states only gold and silver Coin is a Tender in Payment of Debts. Article 1, section 10, clause 1.
Why do they call constitutional silver? is because of the Constitution says everything has to be done by gold and silver. The only reason that I collect silver and gold, because the currency is being overprinted. government could control trade values so if we did go back to gold and silver standard the government already printed would it be worth on the coin. The only reason why they use gold and silver yes it's in the Constitution but they printed a low value on the coin like $1 silver citizens= $30.00 government scrap $2.50 gold citizens = $500 government scrap it's for the citizens can do trade, the government can get 10 times higher price for scrap. Is it supposed to help with inflation and why the government says do not destroy government property and if you do you go to prison.
Thanks! I understand why it's called "Constitutional". I disagree with that interpretation.
@@Dub-C_Coins just remember government can control trade and how much things are supposed to be. It'll be up to the citizens to decide what is a trade instead of the government ,corporations and organizations. By doing so it will collapse going backwards give more power to citizens. Another thing government can do if the citizens did try that they'll get them for fraud, criminal activity, and more.
I prefer junk silver over junk fiat any day.
I know exactly to whom you speak of and I blocked his channel after 2 min watching
Worthless outside the US.
If even 1 in 10 people outside of the US feels otherwise, that's still hundreds of millions of people who would know and trust US 90%. And I would wager that figure is larger than any other nation's silver circulating coinage--including the UK's.
SOO STUPID. Who would want that junk?...
Watch the video and you'll know!
