Best Place To Buy Bullion These Days?

Pre-64 quarters are going to be 90% .715 oz silver no matter how shiny they are. BU ? Circulated ? What difference does it make ?

Asking for a friend.

The difference is a $1 FV of Pre-65 BU quarters will contain .72336 ozt of silver and a $1 FV of average circulated Pre-65 is sold by most bullion dealers as containing .715 ozt of silver.

The thing is, the .715 ozt per $1 FV is just a standard pricing technique. Few, if any dealers, actually weigh the coins to see what the actual silver weight (ASW) is. Even if they do weigh the coins part of that weight is dirt and grime, unless they've been cleaned first, which is rarely, if ever, done.

So, like I said, some people want BU rolls to ensure they're getting full silver value even though the actual difference is likely to be very small. Plus, if they have the time and patience, they have the potential of selling the individual coins with a collector's premium if they're so inclined. There is no collector's premium for "junk" silver, hence the name.

Hero's has 4 Washington 90% quarters for $23.94 so figure 10 , which I usually buy, your at $239.40. Spot is at $235.32 with free shipping. $6 bucks profit I'll happily give them most of all they get it here so quickly. With silver inching towards $33 oz again maybe I'll pop for another pile of junk quarters.

They have half dollars at the same oz price as well.
