There are a few main ways of purchasing "junk silver"

The first and easiest way is to go to a local coin shop, or coin show and purchase junk silver from a coin dealer. Often this will allow you to find a large quantity of junk silver for a cheap price.

The second way is online either through coin dealers, bullion dealers such as The American Precious Metals Exchange (APMEX), or through sites like eBay or Craigslist. Generally, with shipping included you will either pay more purchasing online than through your coin dealer, or you will find limited quantities of junk silver at a decent price.

The third way is to go to garage sales, flea markets, antique malls and other places in hopes that they haven't updated prices for a few years. Generally you will either see radically lower prices than the other 2 methods or radically higher prices than the other 2 methods. However, even if you do find a good deal you are unlikely to be able to buy in bulk.

Is junk silver a good investment?

Junk silver is my personal favorite, especially the quarters and dimes. There's others as well - Kennedy half dollars or other currency that was commonly used. Junk silver was in fact 'currency' prior to 1964. Some of the Kennedy's contained 40% silver thru the early 70s but other junk silver coins are 90% silver. If you think silver is a good investment, junk silver is a great way to stay close to the spot price. So it's an inexpensive way to own silver, it's recognized everywhere so it's easily exchanged, and it comes in fractional denominations making it simple to monetize. In my opinion, everyone should own some junk silver. Silver has real value that will never go away, or at least it hasn't for most of history. Paper, especially fiat currency will not always have value. It's amazing how U.S. fiat currency has declined since the mid-60s. In 1964, a 90% silver quarter was $0.25. Today, it costs around $6.50 to buy one! There are a lot of ways to get your hands on Junk Silver, or 90% as some call it. I have purchased all of mine online with no problems.

How do you advertise silver?

It really depends on what you want to do with silver. If you are buying junk silver, the best thing to do would be to put an ad out in the local classifieds or online on Craigslist saying buying pre-1965 90% silver US coins and give how much above face value you are paying for them. If you are selling bullion or junk silver, the best thing to do would be to put an ad in the classifieds or Craigslist saying you were selling silver rounds/bars/junk silver. If you are buying silver, you might want to see how much local coin shops, jewelery stores and pawn shops are paying for them and make sure you are paying more than they are paying. If you are selling silver, I would keep in mind that most people who browse Craigslist or the classifieds looking to buy small amounts of silver are most likely going to pay less than spot price on it, however, they often times buy for more than local competitors.
