Silver Bullion Coins. Far and away, the most widely recognized and acclaimed silver coin is the American Silver Eagle. Produced by the U.S. mint, this stunning coin is symbolic of high quality silver bullion production and heritage. The American silver eagle carries a face value of $1.00 and is .999 percent fine. Most commonly bought and sold silver coins contain 1 troy ounce and are also .999 while some can be as high as .9999.
Before 1965, US quarters were made of 90 percent silver. That means that due to the silver alone it would be worth about $3.50 (depending on silver prices). After 1964, the quarter is just made of nickel and copper and worth just 25 cents. The US dime was also changed from 90 percent silver in 1964 to nickel and copper. So, older dimes are worth more than 10 cents. Maybe it doesnât matter, but the US penny is currently made of mostly zinc.
