The History of Silver Coinage

The US government minted 90% silver, 10% copper in most of their circulated coins produced prior to 1965. If you’re looking for 90% silver coins, you want to search for coins struck before the Coinage Act of 1965. The Coinage Act of 1965 states that the Secretary of the Treasury was allowed to continue to strike 90% coins for up to five years. Of course, that time has long since passed. Today, there are no silver coins in use by the United States, although silver coins dated 1964 and before can still be found in regular circulation anywhere in the US.

Even if you don’t have a coin collection – there’s still a great way to discover silver coins with extra value in your old spare change. Silver coins consisting of 90% and 40% silver are an easy way to save as an investment in your future.
