The US used to use the Metric system, one Dollar worth of change (from 1853-1964) is equal to 25 grams of .900 Silver
>Half Dimes were 1.25 grams
>Dimes are 2.5 grams
>Quarters are 6.25 grams
>Halves are 12.5 grams
Only Silver Dollars were slightly heavier, keeping in line with the old 8 Reales.

If owning Silver is idolatry then why was nobody screaming "idolatry" back in the 60s when everyone was hoarding Silver coins out of circulation?

What's with all the idolatry FUDing lately? People have used Silver and Gold coins as money for millennia and they were never thought of as idols by Christians during that time.
If Silver coins are somehow idolatrous then why wasn't there any opposition to using them during the religious revival of the 1950s?

Who's baking?

>>Yes, but online sellers have much bigger premiums than LCS.
>Lmao it’s the opposite for me, when spot was $16 my LCS was charging $26 for American silver eagles and 23x face value for junk.
Mine was 18x face when silver was trading for $24. You must have a greedy boomer running your LCS

Finding a silver dime in change ended up leading me down the stacking rabbithole. I was already heading in that direction as I had incidentally read about the Coinage Act of 1964 a few weeks before then, but finding the dime made me put two and two together.

90% silver coins that used to circulate in the US prior to 1964. They usually aren't in good condition, so they're sold close to spot. There's also 35% Silver Nickels from 1942-45 and 40% Silver Halves from 1965-1970, which aren't considered Constitutional, but are pretty much the same thing.

The Silver coins that used to circulate in various countries around the world. The US had 90% silver Dimes, Quarters and Halves and Dollars before 1965, for example. They're usually sold pretty close to spot in circulated condition.

For every country, the time that they had circulating Gold Coins can be thought of as it's Golden Age and the time they had circulating Silver coins after the Gold had been withdrawn can be considered its Silver Age. Following this principle, America's Golden age ended in 1933 with Roosevelt and Britain, France, Japan and Germany's Golden Ages ended during WWI. America's Silver Age can be thought of as ending in 1969 when the last devalued half dollars were struck for circulation. Britain's Silver Age ended in 1946 just before it's empire started to collapse. France, Germany and Japan can be thought of as having multiple Silver ages with Silver being taken out of their coins before WWII and re-added in the 50s and 60s. South Africa is unique with it's Golden Age ending in the 1990s when Gold and Silver coins finally left circulation there. It's quite interesting to see how these various devaluations line up almost perfectly with the years beginning periods of decline for these countries which didn't end until roughly the same time as the metals were reintroduced.
