90 Silver Coins Value
Have you inherited a jar of old silver coins or maybe started collecting 90% silver coins yourself? Perhaps you’ve stumbled upon a few while cleaning out the attic and are curious about their value.

At American Rarities, we’ve been buying and selling 90% silver coins for decades, and we’re here to help you understand their worth and how to sell them safely and for the best price.
Before we dive into their value, let’s clarify what we mean by “90% silver coins.” These are U.S. coins minted before 1965 that contain 90% pure silver. They’re often called “junk silver,” but don’t let that fool you! While they might not be rare or collectible in the traditional sense, their silver content gives them inherent value.

Always Paying More For Your Silver Coins

Understanding the Value of Your 90% Silver Coins
The value of 90 percent silver coins is primarily determined by two factors:
- Silver Spot Price
The current market price of silver per ounce plays a significant role in calculating the value. As the silver spot price fluctuates, so does the worth of your coins. - Face Value of Coins
The nominal value (e.g., $1.00 in dimes, quarters, or half dollars) multiplied by the silver content determines their melt value.
Quick Calculation Formula:
To estimate the value of your coins, use the following:
Value = Face Value x (Silver Spot Price x 0.715)
For example:
If you have $10.00 in face value and the silver spot price is $25.00:
Value = $10.00 x ($25.00 x 0.715) = $178.75
