The United States Mint issued its last 90% silver coins for circulation in 1964. At this point in history, the rising demand for silver was creating an untenable situation for the US Mint from a production standpoint. Silver’s value was such that the intrinsic silver value within each denomination exceeded the assigned face value in US Dollars.
On the obverse and reverse designs of these 90% Silver Coins, you have the potential to encounter some of America’s greatest coin designs from history. For example, the US Half Dollars in this listing could consist of designs such as the Barber Half Dollar (1892-1915), the Walking Liberty Half Dollar (1916-1947), or the Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar (1948-1963). Other possible designs include the Standing Liberty Quarter (1916-1932) and the Mercury Dime (1916-1944). Please note, there is no guarantee which of these designs will be included in your order.
