Dimes  and Quarters (Silver Roosevelt & Washington)

 

Dimes and Quarters made of 90% silver are mandated by the US Constitution. Which also states that gold and silver are legal tender. And, Silver Coins have been minted since the beginning of the Republic. Basically, 90% silver ten cent pieces only stopped being minted in 1965. And, In 1913, when the first paper dollar was printed, a silver dime could buy you $10 worth of goods or services. Today, Silver ten cents US coins are sold in $1 face increments. Also, there are 10 junk silver Roosevelt or Mercury dimes in $1 Face. 

 

Furthermore, The Actual Silver Content in one dollar face of Mercury and Roosevelt silver dimes is .715 troy oz of pure silver. 

 

Silver Washington Quarters

You could buy $25 of today;s goods and services in 1913. Today, junk silver is sold in increments of $1 Face. So, one dollar face of Junk silver quarters equals 4 twenty five cent pieces.  Additionally, $1 face of junk silver quarters has .715 troy oz of pure silver.

 

In the past, Quarters were used for everyday transactions. Today, silver coins are bought as a bartering hedge against economic disaster or hyper-inflation.

Why Are Good Coins Called “Junk” Silver?

The Science of Coin Collecting is called Numismatics. Correspondingly, almost all of the circulated silver dimes and Washington  quarters have no numismatic value. Instead, they are sold for their silver content plus a premium. Also, this premium varies according to supply and demand. 

 

Refineries continue to melt down US Silver dimes and quarters to make Silver Bullion Coins. Because The US Mint is mandated to use US Silver only for Silver Eagles. (This content is Copywritten by Drockton Bullion & Coin and protected from unlawful duplication)

Paul provided great customer service. He was recommended by a friend (who tested his metals) and quickly earned my trust after talking to me about each coin and why one is more valuable than the other. I never felt rushed and he price matched other websites I had pulled up. My order came in within a week and tracking information was provided. I highly recommend getting your goodies from Paul!

History of US Silver Dimes and Quarters

The United States began minting silver dimes and quarters in 1796. These coins were initially made of 90% silver and 10% copper, and they were intended to circulate as everyday currency.

 

 

Throughout the 19th century, the design of the dime and quarter changed several times. In 1837, the Liberty Seated design was introduced, featuring a seated figure of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. This design remained in use until 1891, when it was replaced by the Barber design, featuring a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.

 

 

In 1916, the United States Mint introduced a new design for the dime and quarter, known as the Mercury dime and Standing Liberty quarter. The Mercury dime featured a portrait of Liberty wearing a winged cap, while the Standing Liberty quarter depicted Liberty holding a shield and an olive branch. These designs were well-received and are still highly regarded by collectors today.

 

 

In 1932, the United States Mint introduced a new design for the quarter, featuring the profile of George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. This design, known as the Washington quarter, is still in use today.

 

 

POST World War II

During World War II, there was a shortage of copper, so the United States Mint changed the composition of the dime and quarter to 35% silver and 56% copper. This composition was used for several years, until 1965, when the United States Mint began minting dimes and quarters made entirely of copper-nickel.

Today, silver dimes and quarters are highly valued by collectors and investors for their historical significance and precious metal content. Many of the earlier designs, such as the Mercury dime and Standing Liberty quarter, are considered to be some of the most beautiful coins ever produced by the United States Mint.
