Dimes minted prior to 1965 are made of 90% silver
All dimes produced in the United States prior to 1965 are made of 90% silver. Sometimes these coins are referred to as "junk silver" in the industry.

Dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces, and dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver.

Any combination of face value of $1.40 gives you 1 troy ounce of 999 fine silver.

My youngest son and I used to sort coins together, to not just look for silver, but we found many rare coins...Few and far between...They have been picked over pretty well lol

I was wondering , does slag rise to the top in a smelt ? Could I scrape the slag off smelting 90 % and make .999 hand pours ?

I have some pre-1964 half dollars, quarters and dimes. Good stuff to have around in case the monetary system collapses from all the rampant fraud.

No, there's a lot more to the 'impurities' in so called junk silver than just slag.

This is where the “ I could go to the movie, have popcorn and drinks, diner for one and enough left over for a comic book all for a $1” comes from. The money was rare metals so yea around $30 you could go eat a hot dog and soda and watch a movie. Go to the matinee and you’ll have enough left over to do it again today.

Quick way to check quarters:

If you have a stack of quarters and look at the ridges on the rims, if they are reddish in color, they are made after 1964.

My grandfather had all 5 of his kids collecting silver coins in the mid 1960's thru the 1970's. He would pay the kids for the coins.

He had hundreds of old Maxwell House metal coffee cans filled with silver dimes, silver half dollars and silver dollars stashed in a below ground room accessible thru the garage floor.

Not sure what ended up happening to all of it, grandparents moved to Florida and died back in the 1990's.

There is no need to melt down silver coins to get down to ‘pure.’ They’re already broken down into easily divisible amounts, universally recognized, and handy for small trades in a desperate scenario such as a currency collapse. There is also the numismatic perspective to be taken into account.

An old comparison to be made, that while not exact, gives a good perspective on inflation. A silver quarter could once be used to buy a gallon of gasoline and a $50 gold coin could one be used to buy a fine, tailored men’s suit. The metal values of each can buy these same items today.

Yes, those too.

CHECK YOUR CHANGE!

A lot of uninformed, desperate people are spending pre-1965 coins, also cashing in coin collections at "coinstar" machines, might be tweakers needing a fix, or just broke desperate people...

I am finding a good deal of pre-1965 silver in circulation right now, especially nickels.

Perhaps the coin shortage last year also caused people to break into their junk silver collections, knowingly or not?

Either way check your change!

you just now finding this out OP?

I still occasionally find a silver quarter or dime in pocket change. One way to sort them out is send them thru a grocery store coin exchange. It will reject any silver coins.

You can still find them occasionally in the coinstar machines where it rejects coins. I used to work at Walmart and checked the machine regularly and have found lots of change and a few silver coins one being a 1899 Half Dollar among other older coins.
