90% Pre-1965 U.S. Silver Dimes - $100 Face Value Bag

Pre-1965 U.S. silver dimes are composed of 90% silver and were originally issued for circulation, making them a practical form of “junk silver” bullion. A $100 face value bag of these dimes contains a significant amount of silver by weight, and the coins are valued primarily for their metal content rather than for numismatic or collectible qualities. Their small size makes them convenient for those who like the idea of highly divisible silver.

All 90% silver dimes sold by brightspot metals have clearly visible dates and are sourced with bullion investors in mind. With nearly two decades of experience, we help clients understand how junk silver can complement modern bullion coins and bars in a strictly bullion-focused plan. Every $100 face value bag of 90% silver dimes is eligible for our buyback program, providing a straightforward option if you decide to sell or rebalance your holdings.

In keeping with industry custom, orders placed for multiple $100 Face Value bags will be automatically consolidated into larger bags, such as $500 Face Value bags or up to $1,000 Face Value bags.

"Face value" refers to the nominal value of the coins (e.g., 10 dimes equal $1 Face Value). The industry standard is that there are 71.5 oz of pure silver in every $100 Face Value bag.

$100 face value bag (contains 1,000 dimes) = 71.5 oz (pure silver weight if melted down)

$500 face value bag (contains 5,000 dimes) = 357.5 oz (pure silver weight if melted down)

$1,000 face value bag (contains 10,000 dimes) = 715 oz (pure silver weight if melted down)

One can always determine how much they are paying for the silver in the coins, divide the price of the bag by the number of ounces it contains, or ask one of our precious metals specialists for the price per ounce of silver.:
