90%, 40%, and 35% US Silver Coins at Silver.com
Before bullion coins dominated the market, the US Mint had a long history of including silver in its circulation coinage. While these coins may be damaged, due to their age, they’re still popular due to their rarity and silver content. Learn more about 90%, 40%, and 35% US Silver Coins at Silver.com right here.
Junk Silver
These silver coins are also commonly referred to as junk silver. This name was given to these coins as they offer no numismatic value. People purchase these coins strictly for their silver value. These coins are more affordable than most silver coins on the market, allowing investors and collectors to purchase them in bulk for a relatively cheaper cost than most coins.
90% US Silver Coins
90% silver coins are US coins that have a silver content of 90%. The US Mint started making coins with 90% silver in 1836 with the debut of the Seated Liberty design. They were last minted in 1964. The other 10% was made up of copper for durability.
Coins from the establishment of the US Mint until before the Seated Liberty design had a silver content of 89.2%.
90% silver coins include four different types of US silver coins – the dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar coin. Each coin featured multiple unique designs that had 90% silver content.
- US Dollar Coin: Seated Liberty (1840-1873) Morgan Dollar (1878-1904, 1921) Peace Dollar (1921-1935)
- US Half Dollar: Seated Liberty (1839-1891) Barber Coinage (1892-1915) Walking Liberty (1916-1947) Benjamin Franklin (1948-1963) Kennedy Half Dollar (1964)
- US Quarter: Seated Liberty (1838-1891) Barber Coinage (1892-1916) Standing Liberty (1916-1930) Washington Quarter (1932-1964)
- US Dime: Seated Liberty (1837-1891) Barber Coinage (1892-1916) Mercury/ Winged Liberty (1916-1945) Roosevelt Dime (1946-1964)
40% US Silver Coins
1964 saw the end of 90% silver coins. However, that wasn’t the end of all silver in circulation coins. During the 1960s and 1970s, the US Mint produced a handful of coins with 40% silver content.
The Kennedy Half Dollar was introduced in 1964 and was the final 90% silver coin. From 1965 to 1970, these coins had a composition of 40% silver and 60% copper. In 1971, silver was eliminated from these coins entirely. These coins show John F. Kennedy on the obverse with a modified presidential seal on the reverse.
The Silver Peace Dollar was the final silver dollar struck with 90% silver. Silver dollars in general didn’t return until 1971 with the Eisenhower Silver Dollar. These circulation coins are made up of a cupro-nickel alloy. However, from 1971 to 1978, the US Mint released some of these coins as collectibles, with 40% silver. These coins feature Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and an Apollo 11 insignia design on the reverse.
35% US Silver Coins
One silver coin was issued with a 35% silver content. This coin, known as the War Nickel, was issued between mid-1942 and 1945. These coins show the left-profile portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and a depiction of Monticello (Jefferson’s home) on the reverse.
