The value of Silver Coins in today’s economy
This was a sign at an Ashland, Oregon station taken this month implying that if customers were to buy their gas with pre-1964 silver coins then they would only pay .20 of the face value of the coinage per gallon. These coins are now in demand because they have 90% pure silver content and are sometimes referred to as junk silver because they had no collector value at that time. Junk silver is becoming more and more difficult to come by.
