90% U.S. Silver Quarters – ($1 Face Value)
Constitutional or "Junk" Silver | 90% Silver Content
At a glance: $1 face value = four pre-1965 US 90% silver quarters — a random mix of Washington (1932–1964), Standing Liberty (1916–1930), and Barber (1892–1916) designs carrying about 0.7232 troy oz of pure silver. Circulated (Good–XF) coins cost about 0.7232 × the live silver spot price per $1 FV plus a low premium, ship fully insured from Summit Metals, and are not IRA eligible (circulated 90% alloy). Best for stackers who want mid-size barter denominations between dimes and halves. Page updated July 2026.
