There are approximately 723.4 troy ounces of silver in $1000 face value of pre-1965 US silver coins (dimes, quarters, and half dollars - the answer for silver dollars would actually be a bit higher). This number assumes that the coins are in uncirculated condition, or very close to it, which the phrase "bad junk silver" implies is not the case. If the coins are badly worn (that is, a little of the metal from each coin is worn away), you could have as little as 700 troy ounces.

Quantity of silver in pre 1965 silver coins or weight of silver?

It depends on the year the coin was minted. Quarters made since 1965 are copper clad with cupronickel, and weigh 5.67 gm each. Interestingly that's 0.2 US ounces so even though coins are measured in metric units, exactly 5 quarters weigh one US ounce. From the 1870s to 1964, US quarters were made of 90% silver/10% copper and weighed 6.25 gm. A US ounce is 28.35 gm so doing the division works out to about 4.54 coins per ounce.

1949 US nickel?

A 1949 US Jefferson nickel in circulated condition is worth its face value of 5 cents. However, if it is in uncirculated or mint condition, it may be worth more to collectors depending on its grade and any unique characteristics. It is always a good idea to have rare coins evaluated by a professional coin appraiser.


How much is a 1963quarter worth minted d?

A 1963 quarter in mint condition can be worth more than face value, particularly if it is uncirculated or has a special mint mark. The value can range from a few dollars to potentially over $10, depending on its condition and if it is a rare variety. It's best to have it evaluated by a coin dealer or appraiser for an accurate assessment.

What would be the value of 1976 Canadian olympic coin set?

There are thirty coins in the complete Olympic Series for 1976. These consist of 28 silver coins (14 $5 coins, 14 $10 coins) and 2 gold bullion coins. I personally have all the silver coins in a wooden display case, with each coin in its own plastic protective case. Unfortunately, 20 million sets were minted and so the coins are valueless from a collector viewpoint, and worth only the melt value of the silver. At current silver prices, I'd say the $10 coins are worth about $20 and the $5s about $10. Check on e bay there are a few that go for 650.00 US and up, and if you join a collectors club you might fetch more depending on the condition. I am talking about proof set.
