This is a list of common silver coins. Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver. In the early 1960’s, the silver supply for the nation’s coinage was dwindling rapidly. As Congress and the Administration debated over silver’s future role in coinage, the silver market jumped 10% immediately, and another 30% by 1962. This set the stage for the complete elimination of silver from our coinage by the end of 1964. Sell MidwestCoin.com your silver coins.

Silver Bullion
Sell MidwestCoin.com your silver bullion. Silver bullion rounds and bars are generally 99.9% pure silver. They may be minted by the government (Silver Eagles) or by a private mint (rounds and bars). I recommend staying with the government minted coins because they are more recognizable and trusted. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, but is seldom used in coins and bullion.

I felt like I had made a new friend when I left. I am downsizing and will definitely call her if I find any collectibles. Doing business with her was a joy. Thank you Rochelle.
The owner is so friendly and responsive , and the prices quoted were all in line or higher than dealers nearby. Easy parking and access. My experience was excellent.

We took our inherited US Silver Coins to Rochelle at Midwest Coin and received personal attention and a fair offer. We had also gone to a nationally known buyer of Gold and silver, and those Guys had a much much lower offer. We highly recommend Midwest Coin.
Rochelle provided an incredibly satisfying experience when I met with her to sell some gold rings and a watch. I am confident that she offered me a more than fair price for these items and really appreciated how personable, helpful, and kind she was. I've been living abroad in Japan for decades, and this positive interaction during these challenging times reminded me that there are still lots of decent people back in my home state. Thanks, Rochelle!
I went to Midwest Coin & Jewelry today to value some rare coins and family jewelry. Rochelle provided an excellent, personalized appraisal process. She was very kind and experienced, and I would recommend her services to everyone!
