How to tell

90% silver dimes (1964 and earlier)

Counts
Dimes dated 1964 or earlier: Barber (1892–1916), Mercury (1916–1945) and Roosevelt (1946–1964), any mintmark. The edge looks solid silver.
Doesn't count
Roosevelt dimes dated 1965 or later are copper-nickel clad, including the dimes in regular proof sets from 1968 on; they show a copper stripe on the edge. Silver proof dimes from collector sets (1992 on) are not covered here. Seated Liberty and earlier dimes (dated before 1892) are collector coins: send photos instead. Canadian and other foreign coins are not covered. Rare exception: a dime from circulation dated 1965 or later with no copper stripe, or a 1964 dime with one, may be a valuable mint error. Send photos.

Silver content used: 0.0715 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

90% silver quarters (1964 and earlier)

Counts
Quarters dated 1964 or earlier: Barber (1892–1916), Standing Liberty (1916–1930) and Washington (1932–1964), any mintmark.
Doesn't count
Washington quarters dated 1965 or later are copper-nickel clad, including state, national park and 1776–1976 bicentennial quarters from circulation and the quarters in regular proof sets from 1968 on. Silver quarters from collector sets (the 1976-S 40% silver quarter and silver proofs from 1992 on) are not covered here. Seated Liberty and earlier quarters (dated before 1892) are collector coins: send photos instead. Canadian and other foreign coins are not covered. Rare exception: a quarter from circulation dated 1965 or later with no copper stripe, or a 1964 quarter with one, may be a valuable mint error. Send photos.

Silver content used: 0.17875 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

90% silver half dollars (1964 and earlier)

Counts
Half dollars dated 1964 or earlier: Barber (1892–1915), Walking Liberty (1916–1947), Franklin (1948–1963) and 1964 Kennedy.
Doesn't count
Kennedy halves dated 1965–1970 are 40% silver: use the 40% Kennedy line. Kennedy halves dated 1971 or later from circulation, and the halves in regular proof sets from 1971 on, are copper-nickel clad. Silver halves from collector sets are not covered here: silver proofs from 1992 on, and the 2014 50th-anniversary Kennedy halves (P, D, S and W), which are 90% silver even though they are dated 2014. Seated Liberty and earlier halves (dated before 1892) and commemorative half dollars (1892–1954) are collector coins: send photos instead. Modern commemorative halves (1982 on) aren’t counted here: send photos. Canadian and other foreign coins are not covered. Rare exception: a 1964 half with a copper stripe on its edge, or a half dated 1971 or later from circulation without one, may be a valuable mint error. Send photos.

Silver content used: 0.3575 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

90% silver dimes, quarters and halves by face value

Counts
The total face value of 90% silver dimes, quarters and halves dated 1964 or earlier. For example, 10 dimes, 4 quarters and 2 halves add up to $3.00 face.
Doesn't count
Leave out silver dollars, 40% Kennedy halves and war nickels (each has its own line), clad coins dated 1965 or later, and Canadian or other foreign coins. Coins dated before 1892 and commemorative half dollars are collector coins: send photos instead.

Silver content used: 0.715 troy oz of fine silver per $1 of face value.

Barber coins, key dates and coins in better condition can be worth more than their silver content. Send photos for a personal review.

40% silver Kennedy half dollars (1965–1970)

Count 1965–1970 Kennedy halves here. A 1964 Kennedy is 90% silver, so count it with the half dollars above.

How to tell
Counts
Kennedy halves dated 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968-D, 1969-D and 1970-D, plus 1968-S to 1970-S proofs and 1965–1967 Special Mint Set halves. The 1776–1976-S bicentennial half from the special 40% silver sets holds the same silver and can be counted here. The edge shows a gray center line, not a copper stripe.
Doesn't count
The 1964 Kennedy is 90% silver: use the 90% halves line. Kennedy halves dated 1971 or later from circulation, and 1776–1976 bicentennial halves with no mintmark or a D mintmark, are copper-nickel clad.

Silver content used: 0.1479 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

35% silver wartime nickels (1942–1945)

Look for a large P, D or S mintmark above Monticello on the back.

How to tell
Counts
Jefferson nickels with a large P, D or S mintmark above Monticello’s dome on the back: 1942-P, 1942-S and every 1943, 1944 and 1945 nickel with that large mintmark.
Doesn't count
1942 nickels with no mintmark and the 1942-D (small mintmark beside Monticello) are copper-nickel, as are 1938–1941 and 1946-and-later nickels. A 1944 nickel without a mintmark is a known counterfeit with no silver.

Silver content used: 0.05626 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

Varieties such as the 1943/2-P overdate and coins in better condition can be worth more than their silver content. Send photos for a personal review.

Morgan & Peace silver dollars (Morgan 1878–1904, 1921; Peace 1921–1935)

Many Morgan and Peace dollars are worth more than their silver content because of their date, mintmark and condition. Send photos of both sides for a personal review.

Original 90% silver dollars only. Dollars dated 2021 or later, including the 2026 coins dual-dated “1776 ~ 2026”, are modern Mint coins: tell us about those directly.

How to tell
Counts
Morgan dollars dated 1878–1904 and 1921, and Peace dollars dated 1921–1928 and 1934–1935, any mintmark.
Doesn't count
Morgan and Peace dollars dated 2021 or later, including the 2026 coins dual-dated “1776 ~ 2026”, are modern .999 silver collector coins, not 90%. Eisenhower, Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, Presidential and Native American dollars are not 90% silver (silver S-mint Eisenhower dollars have their own line). Trade dollars are not covered here. Modern commemorative silver dollars (1983 on) aren’t counted here: send photos.

Silver content used: 0.77344 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

40% silver Eisenhower dollars (S-mint collector issues only)

Most Eisenhower dollars aren't silver. Ikes from circulation, and the clad S-mint proofs in regular proof sets from 1973 on, contain no silver. From 1973 on, an S mintmark alone doesn't prove silver.

Silver Eisenhower dollars in their original Mint packaging are collector items and can be worth more than their silver content. Send photos of the coin and its packaging.

Only S-mint silver collector coins. Every 1971-S and 1972-S Ike is 40% silver, in or out of its Mint packaging. For 1973-S, 1974-S and 1776–1976-S, count only the silver versions: from the blue or brown Mint packaging or the three-piece 40% silver sets.

How to tell
Counts
Every 1971-S and 1972-S Eisenhower dollar, packaged or loose. For 1973-S, 1974-S and 1776–1976-S, only the silver issues: from the blue Uncirculated or brown Proof Mint packaging or the 40% silver sets, or a loose coin that weighs about 24.6 g.
Doesn't count
Eisenhower dollars from circulation (no mintmark or D, 1971–1978) are copper-nickel clad, and so are the 1973-S to 1978-S proofs from regular proof sets. From 1973 on, an S mintmark alone does not prove silver: a silver Ike weighs about 24.6 g, a clad one about 22.7 g.

Silver content used: 0.3161 troy oz of fine silver per coin.

Silver bullion (bars, rounds and bullion coins)

Enter the fine silver marked on the item — a round marked '1 oz .999 fine silver' is 1. Add up all your pieces. Don't enter the total weight of sterling or 90% items.

How to tell
Counts
Bars, rounds and bullion coins marked with their fine silver weight. Enter the total: a round marked “1 oz .999 fine silver” counts as 1, ten of them as 10, and a 5 oz America the Beautiful coin as 5.
Doesn't count
Don’t enter the gross weight of sterling, 90% coins or other partly silver items. Silver-plated rounds, tokens and medals, including “silver dollar” medallions sold on TV, are not solid silver: leave them out. Send photos of anything without a marked fine silver weight.

Your estimate

Your estimate appears here as you type. It needs JavaScript turned on, and it loads current silver pricing first.

Send us your estimate

  1. Tap Copy summary for your message in your estimate above.
  2. Open our official Facebook Page and tap Message or Send Message (Facebook may ask you to log in).
  3. Paste your summary, add your town, then attach photos of both sides of each item and any grading labels.
Open our Facebook Page

Prefer to talk first? Call (678) 707-9400 during business hours. Photos are still the best first step.

What happens after you message us

  1. On Messenger, you'll get an automatic reply listing what to send.
  2. Once we've looked at your photos, we'll reply in the same chat; we may ask for another angle or a closer look at a date.
  3. If it makes sense to go further, we'll arrange a time and place to see the items in person. Offers are made after inspection.

Sending photos doesn't commit you to sell, and you can turn down any offer.

What to photograph

  • Both sides of every coin or note.
  • Good, even light with no glare, and the item in sharp focus.
  • A plain, uncluttered background.
  • Close-ups of the date and mintmark on coins.
  • For loose silver coins, one photo of the edges (a short stack is fine).
  • Leave coins in their albums, flips, holders and Mint packaging, and photograph them that way. Don't open rolls; photograph the ends. Hold loose coins by their edges.
  • For graded coins and notes: the front and back of the holder label, including the certification number.
  • For bars and rounds: the stamped weight and purity.
  • For paper money: both sides, with the whole note in the frame and the serial numbers readable.
  • Your town and a short description of what you have.

How the estimate works

  1. Fine silver first. The calculator adds up the pure silver in what you enter, not the total weight of the coins. For worn 90% dimes, quarters and halves (often called “junk silver”) it uses 0.715 troy oz of silver per $1 of face value, the figure commonly used for circulated coins. Other coins use their official mint specifications.
  2. Then what we pay. When current silver pricing is available, the calculator shows an estimated amount we pay for that silver. When it isn't, it asks you to contact us for an offer. Morgan and Peace dollars and silver Eisenhower dollars get an estimate too, but they are often worth more than their silver, so send photos of those.
  3. Then we talk. Send photos and a short description. We'll talk it over and arrange a time to see your items in person, and any offer comes after we've checked them. Subject to in-person inspection and current pricing. Not a guaranteed offer.
