Now that I think of it, wish we could make two choices. If so then I would choose 90% silver (junk) and numismatic

Number one favorite would be American Silver Eagles, followed closely by 90% silver halves.

These two "Crown Size" Silver coins that are not in your poll question are the top 2 silver coins I like the most... I think your coins would fall into the last category on the poll, numismatic silver coins. |

Numismatic silver. I don't collect silver coins for their silver content but rather for their place in history. And I never discriminate against other metals. And none of it is junk to me!

I checked the 90% Silver coins, but really it's any silver coins. It doesn't have to be 90% silver or US based either.

I think 1inamillion15's intent of the poll was regarding silver bullion content of various items. But, only he can clarify that.

Various numismatic world silver coins, I just love looking at their designs and historical context. I dislike junk silver because of their sameness, I am never one to stack up on the same kind of coins. But I just can't say no to a beautiful modern silver proof...  |

Sameness ? Whatchu talkin bout Willis ? When I say junk silver I'm talking about silver coins that are worn and are mostly just good for melt. Still fun to look at though. Like this...   Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

Ah, I see what you mean, I thought junk meant the common U.S. 90% stuff like Washington quarters, Merc dimes, etc... I'm not into having dozens of coins with the same design. That is a cool 1/2 Balboa, I have a 1930 dated one.  |

Speaking for myself, I don't like silver.
I do, however, like coins. Some of which happen to be made of silver.

Why is that  , silver coins feel great in hand and tend to suffer less problems than their bronze counterparts. Quote:

Quote:Why is that , silver coins feel great in hand and tend to suffer less problems than their bronze counterparts. Two reasons, mainly. Silver turns black way too easily - moreso than just about any other metal, except zinc. Second, silver is, well, silver-coloured - just like iron, aluminium, chromium, platinum and every other metallic element except gold and copper. It's just not different enough in appearance to appeal to me.
