ANSWER: I perceive the act, and it solely illustrates my level that in the case of a silver bar, 99% of the folks on the market would NEVER know the distinction between that and a bar of Nickel. That’s what I mentioned; I desire the pre-1965 silver cash as a result of the common particular person can simply determine the date. They’re ALREADY authorized tender. So they don’t seem to be demonetizing the silver cash.
The Roll of 20 – 2025 $1 American Silver Eagles are 99.9% silver. Nevertheless, they’re denominated as $1. This can be extra complicated to the common smuck on the road. Personally, I’ve luggage of silver cash, and I’ve a hoard of $20 gold cash that got here from a central financial institution, which discovered them tucked away within the basement vault. They’re all uncirculated 1924 Saints. This was a personal providing.
