I used to purchase the new mint silver dollars from the bank every year, I don't know why I quit. They sell for price of silver and if they are a low mint they gain value fairly well.

I see some 40%silver Kennedys in the bag and at least 1-1964, 80% silver Kennedy.
2 Of the 3
individual coins packaged in 2x2s are silver and it's indicated they are from the San Francisco Mint.
All the proof coins are from the San Francisco mint.
Any half dollar, quarter,or dime(U.S.) Minted 1964 or older will be silver.
And some nickles between 1942(transition year) and 1945 are 40%silver.

Occasionally Silver Coins make it into stores. This summer I got lucky, a woman paid for her candy at a Walgreens I was at with a bunch of coins, I noticed a Kennedy half because the checkout person held it up and looked at it strangely. I was next, asked for it as part of my change. Value was around $15... Check your coins.

Yeah, silver coins make a distinctly different sound when they hit a check out counter than modern coins do.

Didn't know that place existed. Gonna have to check it out. They have a 4 year old Facebook post saying they were selling silver bullets, which is intriguing

Silver bullets are for Werewolves you idiot.

Vampires require a wooden stake through the heart.

I am not a coin collector but after going through my parent house and sorting though stuff to keep, sell or donate, we got to a box of coins dad had been buying each year since 1965. Full untouched mint sets, single old pennies in plastic wrapping and such. I got some and my 2 siblings took some. They aren't worth anything to me, that I'm aware of but I'm open to any insight on a reason to keep em or a value if I were to sell them and where to take them to sell.

OK so I've been hoarding silver and gold for a few decades. I am more of a precious metal hoard than a coin collector. We in the hobby refer to pre-1964 dimes quarters 50 cent pieces as junk silver those are typically 90% silver. Just for your information as I type this a roll of 64 or older dimes which is 50 coins is valued at $111.28. There are a couple years that the 50 cent pieces are 40% silver from the early 70s off top of my head i cant remember exact year. There are also something called War nickels that are 30% silver you can Google the word War nickel and it'll tell you the years.

Enough of this "misinformation" lol. War Nickels were made '42-'45 and had 35% silver and Kennedy Half dollars made '65-'69 has 40% silver.
