Personally, I don't care so much for the low-grade silver. I am not sure why being on a budget should matter as to the type of coin you get. If you are paying bullion prices, you get the same amount of silver but more bulk.

In terms of dollars per ounce, you will often get a little more silver for your buck with War Nickels than with silver dimes. That is because if they are (gasp!) melted, it takes more work to get the silver out of the copper and manganese. I stack them when I find them in change or bank rolls (up to about a roll's worth) but if you are looking for liquidity if silver hits $25 again and you want to sell, either .900 junk silver or .999 rounds will get you closer to actual spot on the resale. |

If you can buy them cheap enough then nothing wrong with stacking them.

It is worth considering purchasing pure (99%+) rather than circulation coinage. In many states and Canada bullion is exempt from sales tax.

I do diversify with .999 but switch it up now and then in case I have to sell the ''junk silver'' would go first I treat the junk silver like regular ''change'' but what has been on my mind lately due to everything going on economically is there a possibility junk silver would be used as currency once again? or there is not enough silver to go around and the people would not be able to ''figure it out'' ?

Whenever I have ebay bucks I'll spend them on pieces of sterling flatware which are priced close to bullion. I avoid hollow pieces and knives with non-sterling blades. In theory sterling is 92.5% silver, and certainly much higher content than War Nickels and post 1964 Kennedy halves. ebay does not allow you to spend the bucks on coins, so it's a way to buy silver outside their rules.

I've tried to spend bucks on coins and have been turned down. Same with gift cards.

I've used bucks on coins but they won't accept my gift card that I got a year and a half ago ago for coins, so I use it to buy supplies.

I use them for coins all the time. Just not bullion. As far as the
war nickles go (and the 40% Kennedy's) buy them if you can get them cheap.

I think my problem was trying to use bucks on a gold coin. ebay must have judged that it was bullion, even if it was collectable.. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire
