What are Silver US Coins?
The history of silver being used as money goes back thousands of years. Initial silver coinage first appeared around 600 BC, in Turkey. It has been utilized in every major empire from the Romans to Greeks and the Spanish to modern day US. For the first 175 years of the United States, silver was used in everyday coins and they were circulated throughout the economy. Important fact: any US dime, dollar, half dollar, or quarter that is dated 1964 or earlier is typically made of 90% silver.
In 1789, silver was mandated as legal tender. The Constitution went into effect after the first Congress convened on March 4. The power to coin money was given to Congress. In 1965, the Coinage Act of 1965 came into the picture. This act completely eliminated silver from dimes and quarters shortage because many people at that time were hoarding silver, due to their increasing value.
