Junk Silver

Junk Silver is the term used to describe US quarters, dimes, and half dollars produced up to 1964. These Junk Silver coins are composed of 90 percent silver, with the remaining 10 percent of the Junk Silver coins being composed of copper. Most Junk Silver coins are merely worth their weight in silver, though that does make a junk silver coin many times more valuable than a non-silver US coin.

The most common Junk Silver coins are as follows: the Barber, or Liberty Head Junk Silver dime, produced from 1892 to 1916, the Winged Liberty Head or Mercury Dime, produced from 1916 to 1945 is a popular Junk Silver Coin, the Roosevelt Junk Silver Dime, produced from 1946 to 1964, the Barber, or Liberty Head Junk Silver Quarter, produced from 1892 to 1916, the Standing Liberty Junk Silver Quarter, produced from 1916 to 1930, the Washington Junk Silver Quarter, produced from 1932 to 1964, the Barber or Liberty Head Half Dollar Junk Silver coin, produced from 1892 to 1915, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar Junk Silver coin produced from 1916 to 1947, the Franklin Half Dollar Junk Silver coin produced from 1948 to 1963, and the Kennedy Half Dollar Junk Silver Coin, produced in 1964.

Dime Junk Silver coins contain .07234 of a troy ounce of pure silver. Quarter Junk Silver coins contain .18084 of a troy ounce of pure silver. Half Dollar Junk Silver coins contain .36169 of a troy ounce of pure silver. This means that 5 Junk Silver dimes contain the same amount of pure silver as a Junk Silver half dollar or the silver content 2 Junk Silver quarters. There are some key dates in these Junk Silver coins that can make them much more valuable than a standard Junk Silver coin. These include the 1916 Mercury Head Junk Silver Dime with a D mint mark, but not the 1916 Mercury Head Junk Silver dime with no mint mark or an S mint mark, as those are both very common coins. Both the 1932 S mint and D mint Washington Junk Silver quarters are key dates, while the 1932 Junk Silver Washington quarter without the mint mark is a very common quarter. Either way, with a key date or not, Junk Silver quarters, dimes and half dollars are worth looking out for, because their silver content gives than an intrinsic value well beyond their mere face values.

READ OUR REVIEWS

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

Outstanding experience! This is the best place to change your gold with a great attention. I’m completely impressive because they have a smooth and fast service, definitely nice people!

Pablo V.

We were really pleased with the help that AJ gave us concering our gold coins and watches. I don’t think we could have received a better deal anywhere. All of the personnel at Nevada Coin & Jewelry were very professional. We will recommend them to our friends.

Dean & Judy

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

I recently got divorced so I wanted to get rid of some of the jewelry my ex-husband got me. I found Nevada Coin and jewelry searching the web. When I called the guy that answered the phone was friendly and willing to quote me a price per gram. I went to their store on Flamingo, Avery whom I spoke to on the phone tested my items using some kind of x-ray machine. I could see that some of my jewelry was not the karat I thought (some lower some higher). He paid what he quoted on the phone no bait and switch. It took less than 15 minutes got my cash and got rid of some bad memories. I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell jewelry.

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Building had great security to helped me feel safe in handling my items.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

Susanne T.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

Nevada Coin and Jewelry – has excellent customer service – providing las Vegas with top notch service and expertise – this is my primary coin dealers — others just can’t keep up – they are helpful and friendly – in my opinion they are the best in the south west area — so that’s my review a++++ rating – because I am a good customer – this is the best place to buy and sell gold and silver bullion.

Freddie I.

Professional, friendly staff. Knowledgeable and fair. An interesting experience and would definitely visit again.

Gail B.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

Great family run store. I’m well taken care of every time I show up at this location. Thank you Nick.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

Always a good experience here! Definitely the place in town I enjoy buying coins from, and I’d recommend them to anybody. Helpful staff, reasonable prices, and wide selection.
