FAQ

Why choose a 90% silver coin over a modern bullion one?

Investors often prefer 90% coins since they’re historically authentic, they’re practical, and they have low premiums. They’re available in flexible, small increments you can easily trade and sell. Since they have been circulated for many years, they’re also hard to counterfeit and widely trusted.

How is a Washington quarter’s silver content calculated when selling or buying?

Even though these quarters contain 90% silver, their weight is measured based on troy oz per dollar face value. A dollar’s worth of these coins contains around 0.715 silver troy ounces when circulated. The standardized conversion allows investors and dealers to easily inventory, trade, and price the coins according to the current spot (market) prices of silver. 

Is a 90% silver quarter considered a collectible, or is it strictly bullion?

Most of these quarters are viewed as bullion rather than collectibles, as their value primarily comes from the silver they contain, not from rarity. Investors who want silver exposure but want to avoid the premiums associated with collectible or graded coins embrace these quarters.

How can I keep my 90% quarters in good condition?

Investors often keep silver Washington quarters in sealed containers, canvas bags, or plastic tubes to safeguard them from oxidation and moisture. Minor wear, however, won’t affect these coins’ bullion value, as it is expected. A dry, cool environment is sufficient to preserve these coins’ integrity long term.
