NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 4:17 pm I am going to sell many of the 40% silver Kennedy half dollars that I've found during the past 18 months. I plan to use that money to purchase 90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars (including some coins that are missing from my collection). Local coin dealers offered me only $5.00-$6.00 for $1 face value (which isn't a good price). When I called APMEX today, I was pleased that they offered me $9.03 for two half dollars. It will cost me ~$0.25 per coin to ship the rolls overnight to their location -- but I think that still is a good price to receive for them. APMEX also offered me $22.58 for $1 face value 90% silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 1802 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 5:32 pm JMBullion posts their buyback prices on some bullion/coins/bars. 40% isn't as popular as 90%, some dealers may have difficulty selling it and may not get much for it from wholesalers or refineries. I don't own any 40%, takes up too much room for that amount of silver, just my opinion. https://www.jmbullion.com/my-accoun...ck-products/ Edited by livingwater 03/17/2025 5:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NorthShoreMA Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 03/17/2025 6:21 pm I agree with livingwater regarding the relative value of 90% silver coins vs. 40% Kennedy half dollars. 1965-1969 Kennedy half dollars account for about half of the "free" silver I have found while coin-roll hunting because they are more common than coins that contain 90% silver. I have decided to "convert" a large fraction of my 40% silver stash to 90% silver coins by selling them to APMEX, and then using that cash to purchase 90% "junk" silver dimes and quarters from a member of this community who currently is selling them at about their melt value.

Silverskunk New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 04/04/2025 3:54 pm Glad to hear your going to 90% silver. I just ordered a few more piles of it myself just to get my stack weight up. Hero's has some good deals. I find Kennedy half's and Mercury dimes very pleasing to the eye. Even when circulated theres usually some good ones in the mix.
