Coin Dealer Reveals Best Junk Silver Coin for Silver Stacking

Agree, even if they are a fairly plain looking coin, especially so compared to walkers. I got 4 rolls of halves at my bank today and got skunked, unfortunately.

[@ZachTheHobbyist]

I absolutely LOVE these types of videos! I really didn’t look twice at junk silver except finding it out and about to sell later. Bartering with silver is a newer concept to me but I love it! I will end up getting some of all of them anyway! Dimes, quarters, halves, barter bags, divisible bullion!

We really enjoy watching and learning with Silver Dragons. Especially when you visit Harry's coin shop and interview him and his outstanding staff!!!

[@swithers00]

I've always liked the half dollars, but I think the wise thing to do is to have some of each. Just like with our bills today, you need to be able to make change.

[@SuperDavidEF]

Yeah, they really didn't touch on that. If you're going to stack junk silver for the purpose of being able to one day buy and sell with it, you should get some of every size.

[@wilald5295]

When bartering the relative value of the coins will be what matters. Silver dimes , nickels, quarters etc. doesn’t matter the year as long as it’s silver. Minor variations would only matter in large melt operations. Today you’d accept a crumpled twenty as fast as a crisp one.

[@salvatorelivreri]

Exactly! @7:30 he says that his friend says that people will be weighing the dimes for their actual silver content. Really? On a coin that can currently be traded for a loaf of bread (~$2), does it matter if it has 1.97 or 2.03 worth of silver?!?! I would not be wanting to trade with someone that nitpicky!

[@dustinwalker5481]

Lol, outing Yankee on the Roosevelt dimes like that is a nice plug even though you are poking him for it. I enjoy watching both of your channels and enjoy seeing references to other channels I watch.

I say buy them all. They all have their purpose, not sure barter is the use but it's possible. The most important thing is the value they hold just being true money.

[@MrFletchjt]

Thanks for another great video, Silver Dragons and Harry. I would prefer the Franklin half dollar for stacking cheap silver but to barter I would use Washington quarters as an easy way to trade and people know them.

[@Prepare2Survive]

When the day comes where I'll have to use junk silver coins to barter with I'll first be using my most worn coins and reserving the less worn ones for last. My local coin store doesn't sell dimes, quarters and half dollars by face valve anyway. They sell them by weight. Spot times 0.9 is what I pay so worn coins don't bother me as a buyer, but like I said when I trade them off the most worn ones will be gone first.

[@SuperDavidEF]

If you think about it, it's a variation of "bad money pushes out good money" because everyone who is paying attention to the weight will be pushing off their light coins to the people who don't know or who maybe don't care about the weight difference. Eventually, everyone will figure it out and the light ones will be universally considered less valuable.

[@henrymorgan3982]

The other aspect that I never thought about before watching this is that the “price” of everything will be “higher” than what is you are paying? Something to think about. Great question video!

[@jojeda13]

The young man in the video nailed it. You can lay down any combination of fractional coins, but if the situation is so dire that you are using silver coins as currency, the silver dollar will win. It's just more appealing. Also, get used to the idea of overpaying for any goods or services in those circumstances. So while everyone is counting their Roosevelt's and figuring out weights, you can just lay down a large coin and walk away with the goods.

[@futureluckk5341]

Mercurys for the win now we need Tim and harry to go at it😂😂😂😂 mercury are by far my favorite of the two

[@SilverDragons47]

[@dfaval12]

OK, First... I love you guys and wish you were in my town! Now, I noticed the large amount of "gunk" on that Merc. I spotted it fast as I have a few like that and don't know how to get that stuff off. That gunk has weight and the comparison, in my view, was a bit skewed. I wish you had taken a really thin/worn Merc without the gunk and did a comparison. I still contend that if people know about mercury dimes, they will know about Roosevelt dimes and 1964 being the "magic" year! Keep doing these videos as you guys are amazing and informative!

[@shiftomnimega]

Washie quarters are the best deal in junk. I can still grab a few for very close to $5 a pop. Even Rosie dimes are creeping beyond 10% over melt and I just can’t do it.

All you really need to remember is how the first stacker empire dealt with silver. The Vikings. Silver was silver was silver, and it all came down to weight in trade. Didn't matter where it came from, or who's face was on it, or what shape it had. History repeats.

I believe if/when the USD implodes it will only be weeks or months until most people will understand which coins are silver or not at a glance.I do believe their condition will be a factor, how ever so slight. I have always stacked by weigh/melt value over collector value. Also don't rule out that the 22LR cartridge could potentially become a $.50 or $1 coin. All ammo will be valuable but quality will be a huge factor. No one reloads 22LR it is all factory minted, easily stored and transported. Even at today's prices it is a bargain...

It took him a couple weeks to think about it and since he had no other buyers, he traded with me. This was a few years ago and I still use the tractor on my 22 acres.

Much of it depends on where you think silver will go. Many believe silver belongs much higher into 3 - 4 digits. In that case, dimes will be the most desirable to Barder with.
