I like dimes. Those minted in 1964 or earlier are 90% silver and you can pack more in a small volume than any other denomination of coinage.

FYI. There has been some criticism of circulation wear on dimes. I have also loaded up on War Nickels. They are easily identified by the mint mark above Monticello.

Coming from those lacking understanding of the fact that when the time for those alternatives comes, the last thing on anybody’s mind will be the wear on a coin of known authenticity (which junk silver definitely is).
