"Junk" silver is the term used by investors and coin dealers to refer to pre-1965 US silver quarters, dimes and half dollars that are worn or are common dates and have no value above the silver content in them. At the time of writing, a silver dime is worth about $2.50, a silver quarter is worth about $6.25 and a silver half dollar is worth about $12.75. However, the prices depend on the price of silver.

The price of silver is constantly changing. In fact, it can change minute by minute. The best thing to do is to consult a live price chart.

Standard exchange policy: "Please note we cannot accept silver plated, gold plated or gold filled items. These items may be beautiful, but they unfortunately do not have any precious metal content to speak of. Even their value as antiques, collectibles, or jewelry is minimal right now due to the economy."
