I am having a disagreement with a friend about modern 90% silver. So without saying which side of the argument I am on, I looking for an answer to this question.

Specifically, is the ATB silver proof set considered to be modern 90% silver? Also is you were to use (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com could you use it to price either ATB or Statehood silver coins?

To tell you the truth, id prefer pre 64 coins for silver as there is history and more people are familiar with them.vs modern 90%

Of course the ATB would be modern (contemporary) silver....not sure how this could be argued otherwise?

Its modern silver, and no, you wouldn't use THAT website to determine the actual value of ATBs or Statehood Quarters in most instances.

ATBs sell for above spot silver price, although it is possible in some circumstances to get silver statehood proof quarters for spot or just below it.

I do not understand what the question is.

Yes, it is a modern coin.

Yes, it is 90% silver.

What would it not be?

Our question really revolved around the physical makeup of the current quarters. Neither on of us could find a documentation that said what the physical makeup of the quarters were. Whether they were truly 90% silver as defined by the mint.

We were looking at the mint site without seeing whether or not a current coin was 90% silver and 10% of some other makeup.

Each of knows that it has silver content just not what the percentages were of content. Does anyone have a definitive source. Neither of us could find one.

Pretty much every trustworthy Google result for this topic defines these coins as genuine 90% silver. Honestly, the issue isn't in question.
