Provident Metals, 90% silver at 10.8 x face, delivered to your door free with orders over $99. Same with APMEX. I bought a bag full a while back, was all Washingtons, with a half-dozen standers. Average circulated.

Kind of odd though, that Aydin doesn't realize that 1964 dimes quarters and halves are also 90% silver.

Nice picture but you'll probably get a bunch of Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes and maybe a couple well worn Mercury dimes and a Franklin and Walker or two if you bought $10.00 face. What is a War Nickel doing in there in the picture?
When you go to sell there's always the refining fee that goes 10-15% of what it is really worth. A dealer will pay spot minus his refining costs, whether they get melted or not. If you sell to another individual person, good luck trying to charge a premium more than 10% over spot.

When you buy from a dealer, just like this one, you are paying that fee.

$1.00 face has .715 troy ounces in their 90% silver coins. Charging $12.85 . I think that comes out to $17.97 per troy oz.
$14.00 spot for .715 troy ounce is $10.01 and of course 1 troy oz .999 come out to $14.00.

This last month I bought 20 troy oz of .999 pure silver for average $16.38 per oz. The extra I paid of course was for the purity ( refining done ) and it was shipped free.

To me it's no deal and a bad deal if you don't get the nice Standing Liberty quarters and Walker halves like they show in the image. remember . You will receive Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars all Pre-1964

OH BOY!

.999 1 oz. Philharmonics at JMBullion, below $15.50 ea, shipped free over $99. Not bad.

50 cents over spot on their 100 oz. bars. No one beats Provident's every day sales.

I am sure they know. Could just be a marketing tactic. Who doesn't sorta growl when they get all 1964's in a lot of silver. I know I have sometimes, but silver is silver.

Not me! Give me 1964 all day long, if only for stacking junk silver, talk about most bang for the buck...especially those '64 Kennedy halves...virtually no wear at all -

I didn't catch that before, TNG! Interesting... Is that the "not trustworthy" signal?

It may just be a syntactical error or trying to avoid confusion. I am sure that if you purchased a few batches, you would get a '64 or multiples mixed in.

It's all 90%, so who cares?

That's too much so bad deal. It is pretty easy to find 90% at spot or just above. I've been able to get much of it under spot over the last few months (Craigslist and ebay). Not easy but if you put the work in, you can find the good pricing. A few days ago, got it for about 10 cents under spot (per ounce) from my LCS.

And with the calculation used for wear, (.715 / dollar), $10 of 90% is over 7 ounces of silver

usually much less wear on 64s, but unless it's weighed when you sell, it doesn't matter.
