Bring a gun?
Don’t be a SUCKER.
What exactly are “junk silver coins” ?
Here is a safe alternative. Fine silver casting grain.
Send them a cashiers check or credit card number and they will ship it to you insured. If you don’t use it, they will buy it back.
buy lead and brass instead
Ebay has certain controls Guarantees on Purchases .
You can buy All the Silver you want from Established sellers....you don’t have to deal with Newbees.
Buy low, sell high!
I think coins where the surface has rubbed off so you can’t really even read the date on the coin, much less tell what type of coin it is.
Recommend silver eagles or silver rounds instead.
What are those?
They’re fake 0bama commemorative coins. Just quarters with stickers stuck on them.
Here is an explanation:
Older United States silver coins (1964 and before) are now in demand because of their silver content. (Many were melted down years ago.) At one time these were referred to as - junk silver - because they had no special collector value at the time. Junk silver is still used today to refer to old silver coins. However, times have changed. Today “junk silver coins” are becoming harder to find.

Recommend silver eagles or silver rounds instead.
I’ve got a 1929 Silver Dollar that I would not sell for a million dollars.
Now a million rounds of 00 Buck,this baby’s yours.Maybe.
Purchase from reputable dealer in state with no sales tax. NH is still good.
NO IDEA! That’s why I said what I said.
The silver in the eagles costs more than the silver in junk. Junk silver has the advantage that it is recognized by everyone and is easily used as cash when fiat money becomes worthless or is decreasing toward that state rapidly.
