How To Calculate Silver Dollar Values And Other Junk Silver Coin Prices
Junk silver coins are old US coins that contain silver. Up until 1965, US coins were minted with a 90% silver content. They are a great way to invest in silver but you should know a little about the different coins before buying them. This information below should help you also calculate Silver Dollar Coin Values and other Junk Silver Prices
Junk Silver Coin - Silver Content (ounces)

Seated Liberty 1837-1852 0.07726
Seated Liberty 1853-1873 0.07205
Seated Liberty 1873-1891 0.07234

Mercury Dime 1916 to 1945 0.07234

Walking Liberty Half 1916-1947 0.36169
Franklin Half Dollar 1948-1963 0.36169
Kennedy Half Dollar 1964 0.36169

Silver Dollars
Trade Dollar 1873-1885 0.78761
Morgan Dollar 1878-1921 0.77343
Peace Dollar 1921-1935 0.77343
To calculate the value of each coin get the current silver price from the website linked below and then multiply that by the silver content in each coin. So for example if the Silver Price is $16 then the value of a Morgan Silver Dollar is 16x0.77343=$12.37.
Remember that when you go and buy these coins the dealer may quote the price in terms of "face" (i.e. face values) in the above example he might quote you 12.3 times face. It is always handy to know the spot price of any coin before buying it so you know how much premium you are paying. For these kind of coins in small amounts it is not unreasonable to pay up to 20% and this premium will get less the more you buy.
The advantage of junk silver coins over buying one ounce silver rounds is that junk silver coins are lower denomination - they are smaller amounts of silver meaning 1) you can start investing in silver for much less (a silver dime will cost you under $2) 2) for those people who see buying silver as a good hedge against financial collaspe. The low denomination of junk silver coins makes them an ideal bartering tool. Yes I am sure someone will give you a loaf of bread for your ounce of silver but it was a very expensive loaf!!!

Frequently Asked Questions...
Where to purchase gold and silver coins?
I would like to buy some gold and silver coins to use as barter in the case of economic collapse. (US) If the collapse never happens, which I pray it doesn't, I wound just pass them on to my children. Can anyone recommend a reputable seller of these coins? And also one that will sell me the amount I want to buy and not the amount they want to sell?
Thanks!
Answer:
I've been trading silver through Apmex for several years. They give the current quote and mark it up a little. And they deliver right to your front door.

I gave away 5 oz bars/coins of silver at Christmas two years ago to family members, and last Christmas they were almost double the price. The gift that keeps on giving.

You instinctively already know that holding a paper ETF is not the same as holding physical gold. Until the Flash Crash a couple of weeks ago, nobody realized that ETF's could freeze up and lock you out of trading or redeeming the underlying. If one of the reasons you're buying gold is to protect against a crash in the system, then that very reason may be why you're left holding the bag (paper ETF instead of physical gold) in the event of a crash.
Read this article how GLD/SLV ETF's may not be redeemable:
