don't let these guys fool you. They are absolutely worthless as they are old currency.
The best thing to do with them is to send them to me for propper disposal.

Full reply:
Frior to 1965 quarters and dimes were minted from pure silver. After that, they were made of a sandwich of copper and silver since they were now worth less than the silver that the old coins were made from. Since that time, I think they have removed all silver and now the "silver" part is a copper-nickel alloy. The reason for having them is two-fold: first, they are worth more as a collectors item, and second, in the even of economic collapse, they will still be worth something since they are actually made of a metal with some value. Also will be worth probably significantly more than current face value. |

1. They're siliver, and have a value of at least the silver content.
2. They're US currency, and have a value of at least that indicated by the coin. So you get to pick and choose which value you want. |

I'm assuming they are probably made of nickel. Imagine that.

You are incorrect. Most places are paying 5x face for pre64 silver. I am not guessing, I know. I just sold about $300 of pre64 silver to buy a few gold coins. I got 5.5x face and had a handful of collectible ones in the bunch. All in all it was a couple thousand in silver. CH |

Mark and Jeff had some pre-'65 coins in "Lights Out" that they used as money after the nuclear explosion.
It might be a good thing to have on hand just in case. . . |

Why would "precious" metals have any value in the event of a nuclear holocaust? What use would they be? How does a pocket full of silver improve ones chances of survival more so than a can of beans, some clean water or a loaded gun? I mean, consumable goods would have genuine value in their uses as opposed to precious metals or stones. Which would be useless. Under those circumstances, a barter systems makes much more sense than currency. |

if TSHTF, ammo will be more useful as currency than silver. |

You are allowed to mount bayonet on a pre-65 coin. Just ask any former SEAL at gunshows.

In "Lights Out", vendors were willing to take the silver coins as money since the value was contained in the coins themselves, not backed up by the faith and credit of the US Government. |
