This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
Much of the coinage the United States produced in the 20th century would qualify as 90% junk silver bullion coins. 90% junk silver bullion coins are coins of the ten cent, twenty-five cent and fifty cent denominations that were minted as legal tender coins, good for purchasing goods and services within the United States and at market places abroad which accept United States legal tender, and have been discontinued as a form of minted coinage since 1964. 90% junk silver bullion coins are exactly what they appear to be. They consist of 90% silver bullion and the other 10% percent is copper to add strength to the otherwise malleable precious metal of silver. Often times 90% junk silver bullion coins can still be found in circulation and they are still legal tender, meaning that the 90% junk silver bullion coins can still be used to purchase goods and services at the face value of the coins still to this day. Make no mistake though, just because these coins are routinely called 90% junk silver bullion coins, doesn’t mean they are junk at all. The price of silver has risen over the last several decades since these coins were discontinued, making the value of the 90% junk silver bullion coins generally much larger than their face value.
