ANSWER: I perceive the act, and it solely illustrates my level that in relation to a silver bar, 99% of the folks on the market would NEVER know the distinction between that and a bar of Nickel. That’s what I stated; I want the pre-1965 silver cash as a result of the typical individual can simply determine the date. They’re ALREADY authorized tender. So they don’t seem to be demonetizing the silver cash.
The Roll of 20 – 2025 $1 American Silver Eagles are 99.9% silver. Nonetheless, they’re denominated as $1. This can be extra complicated to the typical smuck on the road. Personally, I’ve baggage of silver cash, and I’ve a hoard of $20 gold cash that got here from a central financial institution, which discovered them tucked away within the basement vault. They’re all uncirculated 1924 Saints. This was a non-public providing.
