90% Silver Our Choice – $100 Face Value

This is a bag of 90% Silver that we choose (you choose the $ Face Value in $100 increments).  From 1838 until 1964, dimes in the United States have been minted in 90% silver. The Winged Liberty Head dimes were produced from 1916 through 1945. Known popularly as Mercury dimes, they do not actually depict the Roman messenger god. Beginning in 1946, dimes in the US bore the face of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in profile.

Quarters have been produced in the US since 1792, however the modern quarters in our inventory are a mix of two types: Standing Liberty (1916 to 1930) and Washington (1932 to 1964). These have been produced by various US mints including the San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia mints.

Our half dollars are of three varieties: Walking Liberty (1916 to 1947) half dollars, Benjamin Franklin half dollars (1948 to 1963) and John F. Kennedy half dollars (1964).  The Walking Liberty halves, also known as Walkers, show Lady Liberty walking on the obverse side while the reverse depicts a Bald Eagle with wings spread wide. The Franklin halves show the image of Benjamin Franklin in profile on the obverse side while the reverse shows the iconic Liberty Bell. The Kennedy halves show the 35^th president in profile on the obverse and the Seal of the President of the United States on the obverse.

We choose from a mix of dimes, and quarters, and to a lesser extent, half dollars – all in 90% silver. These mixtures can be any combination of Roosevelt and Mercury dimes, quarters or Franklin and Kennedy half dollars.
