90% Silver - Today, 90% Silver coin bags have become a popular way to invest in precious metals. These 90% Silver bags contain pre-1965 U.S. silver coins whose composition is 90% silver. As the price of Silver began to increase in the 1960s, the United States government passed a law that eliminated Silver as the underlying exchange for $1 and $2 bills. By 1965, the government had ceased minting 90% Silver dimes, quarters, and half-dollars. As a result of the change in Silver content, the 90% Silver coins quickly faded from regular circulation.

      For investors, these pre-1965 silver coins have become an easy and convenient way to buy silver. APMEX offers a variety of face-value bags that give you the opportunity to own Silver without the high premiums associated with 1 oz Silver bullion coins, such as the Silver American Eagle coins. If you desire to buy Silver in the most cost-efficient way, the 90% Silver bags from APMEX are a great option. APMEX makes it easy to buy Silver by offering competitive Silver prices on all Silver products.

      APMEX offers the ability to purchase 90% Silver in small increments of $1 through full $1,000 face-value bags, with several increments in between. Each single bag purchase will contain only one denomination of coins. So that means you may receive all dimes, all quarters or possibly all half-dollars. We are sorry we are unable to provide you mixed denominations in any single bag. If you would like to request a specific denomination, please call (800) 375-9006, and we will be happy to try to accommodate your request. All bags will contain our choice of either dimes, quarters, or half-dollars.
