Since silver bags are such a good investment, many people are curious to know what exactly is inside them. As a starter, every silver coin made before 1964 was made of 90% silver. Silver bags usually contain either all dimes, quarters, or half dollars. Generally there are no mixed bags, that is to say they will not contain dollar coins. If you want dollar coins they are sold as dollar bags and due to the weight may be shipped as two separate bags. You get the picture, and this is what will come inside your silver bag.
A stated before, this is why silver bags are so valuable. Each bag contains $1,000 worth of coins, so even if silver dips, you still have the face value of the coin. These coins are not proof no or they mint, so don’t expect a bag full of shiny new coins. Most of the coins will have been used and are probably in okay to poor condition. However this doesn’t matter, as you are simply buying for silver content, not for coin proof.
The average amount of silver per silver bag is around 710 ounces.
