Pre-1965 Junk Silver Coin Bags of Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars: An Insightful Overview

The Pre-1965 Junk Silver Coin Bags of Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars represent a captivating segment of American numismatic history, offering both historical richness and silver melt value.

These silver coins struck between 1916 and 1947, are emblematic of an era when silver coinage was part of daily commerce in the United States. Their allure lies not just in their beauty and silver content but also in their story, as pieces of "honest money" that circulated widely in American pockets and purses.

Junk silver coins are defined as circulated silver coins that were minted primarily for everyday transactions in the United States prior to 1965 and are valued mainly for their metal content rather than for collectible or numismatic value. These coins are no longer produced or used in regular commerce due to the high melt value of their silver content exceeding their fifty-cent ($0.50 USD) face value.

Junk silver coins have been in circulation and typically show signs of wear, tear, and tarnish. Their condition is generally not a factor in their value, unlike with numismatic coins where the condition can significantly impact price.


Coin Highlights:

  • Design and Artistry: The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is celebrated for its exquisite design, featuring the full-length figure of Liberty striding forward, symbolizing freedom and progress. The reverse depicts an eagle perched on a rock, adding to the coin's majestic appeal. This design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, is considered among the most beautiful in U.S. minting history.

  • Composition: Each coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, a standard for U.S. silver coinage until 1965. This high silver content makes these coins highly sought after by investors and collectors alike. (.715 Oz of Silver for Every $1 Face Value)

  • Dimensions: Each Walking Liberty half-dollar silver coin has a diameter of 30.63 mm (1.2059 in) and a thickness of 1.8 mm.

  • Historical Significance: These coins were minted during significant periods in American history, including World Wars I and II. Owning a Walking Liberty Half Dollar is akin to holding a piece of history in your hands.

  • Investment Value: Despite being referred to as "junk" silver due to their circulated condition and lack of numismatic premium, these coins are anything but. They are prized for their silver content, with each coin containing approximately 0.3575 troy ounces of silver, making them valuable assets in the precious metals market.

  • Bulk Investment and Collectibility: Buying Pre-1965 Junk Silver Coin Bags offers investors and collectors a unique opportunity. Not only do these bags contain a significant amount of silver, but they also offer the chance to own a variety of minting dates and conditions, adding diversity to one's collection or investment portfolio.

  • Barter Potential: Given their recognizable and trusted status as U.S. legal tender (though primarily for their silver content now), these coins are ideal for barter situations, providing flexibility in transactions where official currency may not be as reliable.

    Excellent Transaction!!! Super fast delivery!
    I was not disappointed with my coins. I enjoyed them very much. I couldn't help but wonder about the history of each coin. What story would it tell me if it could speak.

    Happy with purchase
    So made a $10 dollar purchase. Defiantly wasn’t expecting the crazy great condition like my Franklin or Kennedy’s… So the coins were much more worn as expected but I still got some surprises… Ok so most were 1941-1944 but I got 2 39’s and ultra surprised when I found a 1929 D… not the best of shape but both Date and Mint mark fully visible and In God We Trust remains… That gives it a grade above cull and with a mint of right at 1 million was a great find. Second best was the 39 S in even better shape with a 2.5 million number… Hey for junk silver especially this old I was very happy. Money Metals is where it’s at for Half dollars and silver rounds.
