Is Constitutional silver the BEST Silver?

Everyone has their own preference when it comes to buying silver. But there’s one silver that a majority of us enjoy together and yes I’m talking about constitutional silver.

Constitutional silver is the ultimate stacker’s choice-trusted, recognizable, and ready for any crisis.

[@StatesideStash]

Well said brother. Pretty much everything I cover

[@PatriachalRain]

I love it for it’s nostalgic value. It was the currency of my childhood. Many comic books, baseball cards, grape Nehi sodas etc. we’re bought with this coinage. The comic books and baseball cards are long gone and now I wish I had saved the coins instead of spending them. Every time I hold them, the memories come flooding back.

Junk has the cheapest premiums for fractional silver around. Have you looked at the premiums for 1/10 and 1/4 silver rounds?! Junk is a no brainer.

Thank you brother! By far my favorite to stack. We should see the next commander coin soon

If i had to only stack one thing forever, 90% halves would be the one... lucky for us, we dont have to stick to one thing. Solid discussion.

I'm a fan of Roosevelt dimes. They're the newest so they are generally less worn and have the most silver content..and since you usually buy it at a face value price it makes more sense for me. For bartering I think that is more ideal. Plus, theyre convenient to use for bartering since they are by their very nature "fractional".

A you tube coin shop told me that if they get way to much 90 percent silver that they send it off to the refinery to have it melted. Once it’s melted, history has been deleted and it’s gone forever. In my opinion they should try to sell it to another shop who does not have much of it. I’m sure the government wants to see all that silver melted so they can make more non silver coins with little value to them.

@@Slim1962 That is sad to hear , probably happens all the time, & boom history lost forever, in my opinion it shouldn't be allowed but most of the shop's & LCS's are numb to it, they are around it all day every day, so I would probably have to say to them silver is silver.

The beauty of it to me is you can spend just a few bucks and walk out with something. I pick up a couple half dollars every Friday as a celebration of surviving another week in the rat race. With the way the cost of silver is going right now that is considerably less expensive than buying a silver eagle or a 1 ounce bar or a round.

I get a kick out of folks spending extreme premiums buying newly minted fractional silver for future barter- usually 1/10 pieces. Guess they never heard of good old US 90%, huh?!

@@rtygrest I get it war nickels catch a lot slack for ultimate "junk" that nobody wants but as far a fractional and best bang for your buck they are not a bad choice. Everyone knows you can get them at spot/melt most of the time. What they don't know is that it only takes 90 cents (18 nickels) to make just over 1 troy ounce. Not a $1.40!

[@milessakauye8819]

Hey Stateside! All good points! I've been mostly stacking halves. Still have a few dimes and quarters, but the vast majority of my 90% are halves.

And they could care less if it is slightly damaged, the first thing that amazes them is the Date, 1878s are the best. I stack Buffalo Rounds for investment purposes only.

I love constitutional silver:D It's the only silver that i buy now. And in the event of a government confiscation, silver bullion is open game but constitutional isn't. I try to stick with later dates, such as 1960 to 1964 for quarters, halves, and dimes as these typically have less wear and thus closer to the as minted weight than the older series. For Morgans and Peace dollars, i get what ever i can. Nothing like the sound of silver coins ringing as opposed to the clunking of real junk clad! I still go for the graded standing liberty quarters as they are one of the most beautiful US coins ever minted (just my opinion).

[@veritasfiles]

Given all of the various scenarios, the most important of which being utility and inherent numismatic value, I think Constitutional or Junk Silver is likely the best overall value for your money. I think ASEs run a close second, but it is because of its utility and inherent numismatic value that I've made 90% Constitutional Silver the foundation of my Silver stack. I do buy Constitutional Silver, in part, for the prepping or possible future barter currency it could be, though I don't necessarily think that's a highly likely scenario. I simply follow the old adage that it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. It's similar to the admonition that I'm sure you picked up in the military that 2 is 1 and 1 is none. I think Constitutional will end up having the highest utility for me, and I think it will likely have the largest universe of possible buyers as well. I think people will desire a 90% Silver dollar or half dollar more than they would a 2024 Silver Eagle, in part because of the novelty of having something that is 80 to 140+ years old. Lastly, it's one of the absolute coolest thing that I can leave behind to my family that will have genuine value and be of service to them in their own lives when I can't be there to help.

Good show, stateside. I have $50 FV in quarters and $50 in dimes. I'm looking to get another $100 combined FV, but not quite sure what I want... Do you feel it would be wise to get some 90% halves for variety, stick to the quarters & dimes, or doesn't it really matter?

I just came across your video. This video is very informative and very encouraging. A question I do have is, if you were to be collecting nickels for the silver, what would you collect. I see.Some coins only have 40% silver. Would that be something worth collecting? Thank you so much for your videos, and I definitely subscribed and I definitely hit the like button, and I will continue to follow!!

[@aj_sanjuan]

Constitutional silver, IMO, sits perfectly at the cross roads of stacking (for whatever reason you have) and collectibility. Both can provide long lasting value and higher returns over time - which includes premiums further than silver spot price alone. That said, i don’t mix Morgan silver dollars in with “junk” silver solely because of the silver content. “Pound for pound” Morgan’s have almost 6% more silver content. In small dollar amounts, or singular transactions, it’s not significant but anything else and it can really add up. The average silver in $1 FV of “junk” silver is ~0.715 oz. The average silver in $1 FV of Morgan’s (and Peace) is 0.7734 oz …..that’s 5.84% more than “junk” silver.

[@rtygrest]

Those looking for Dimes, do you know Vermillion Enterprises? Spring Hill, FL. Great people and today they have a large supply of dimes. You’re welcome. Lol.

So Stateside what are your thoughts about 80% Canadian Junk Silver? Personally I stack the US and CAD varieties at about 1 to 1. I guess a downside might be recognition of the Canadian coins in a SHTF type situation. Enjoying your content very much, always insightful.
