90% Silver Washington Quarters $500 Face-Value Bag

Silver quarters are made of a Precious Metal long valued for its use in jewelry.

Buy Silver, and you are buying a Precious Metal valued for its lustrous shine, malleability and resistance to tarnish. Like jewelry, these Washington Quarters are not pure Silver because Silver alone is too soft to stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use. While Washington Quarters are .900 fine Silver, most Silver jewelry is .925 fine Silver and .075 fine Copper, and this particular alloy is known as sterling Silver. Silver bullion and Silver jewelry are made with a Precious Metal recognized as valuable for thousands of years.

Can I buy Silver quarters for the Silver spot price?

Buying Silver quarters at the Silver spot price is not possible because the Silver spot price, which fluctuates throughout the day, is the base price for unfabricated Silver. When you buy Washington Quarters, you pay a premium over the spot price of Silver. The premium for the Silver coins for sale includes the cost for fabrication, distribution, nominal dealer fees and any numismatic or collector value. These Silver coins have very little to no numismatic value; however, so their price is primarily based on their Silver content.

The Washington Quarter is currently issued by the U.S. Mint, although prior to the Coinage Act of 1965, these quarters contained 90% Silver.
