Completing Junk Silver Rolls

@ Connor, I got to be honest it happened by chance with the ASE's. I realized when I was at my LCS buying junk silver that I had 6 - 2014 ASE's at home and saw the plastic tube and went hmmmm this can work. I have seen on Youtube and other pics here on the forum of tubes full of ASE's and it looks Nice. So if silver prices drop and stay down I should have enough ASE's eventually but if prices go up I may not complete it until next year.

@ Okie1987, I started the rolls of junk silver because I read somewhere that you can get a premium on rolls of junk silver than if you sold them individually. I am stacking only for investment purposes and because I have OCD when it comes to silver. I love the metal.

I just bought a roll of dimes, which thankfully is much cheaper. A roll of ASE's would be nice, however I would go for different dates for ASEs just because personally I would want to try to put the dates together.

I can't do it with ASEs. They all go into the Dansco as a date collection (10 more and my first set will be completish until January of each year). I have started my first two tubes though. The first was the 1 oz silver merc design from Provident and the second is 40% halves. The halves started by accident while on ebay. I was able to find 8 40% and 2 90% for $5. Without much interest in 40%, I had to find something to do with them.

My story, to add to this thread goes as follows.
I too gather a few orphan small 90% junk lots off of ebay and before you know it I have five unfinished coin tubes and two partial 1 oz. silver bullion tubes cluttering my desk. So I posted WTB ads on some precious metal sites I belong to asking for a hand in topping off these tubes. So far I have knocked out three tubes of US junk in the month of January. But I promised I won't start purchasing anything other items to complete my partial tubes. I hope my wife isn't monitoring the checkbook to close this month.

I'm one coin away from completing a 40% half roll form CRH. I don't go out of my way to complete rolls of silver, but I roll hunt so much that I do have quite a but of silver piled up. I'm waiting for silver prices to go up again and then I will likely sell most of it.

I accumulate junk silver as 'collateral buy' when it is included in small lots of World and ancient coins that I may be interested.
Philosophically, I just see silver accumulated in this way as a free bonus.

As a result, my junk silver stash has a huge variety within it. A low grade numismatic sub collection within my collection.

i never understood why it was called junk silver its still silver and has value. lol

anyway 90% is one of my favorites as far as stacking goes. my local dealer usually sells it to me at spot so thats the main reason. I also like it cause theres so much history behind it compared to ASE.

It's possible this term dates back to the late '70's when the Hunts were cornering the market, I remember dealers not interested in 40%, too "dirty" even at $50 silver, as the Hunts wanted as pure as could be.
