I honestly have no idea why someone would buy that. Hence the question....

Junk silver coins are those minted before 1965. They are in such shape as to have no value to collectors, but are 90 percent silver so some people buy them for their metal content. They rule of thumb is that you can sell the coins for 14 times their face value and buy them for 16 times their face value.

I bought 10 rolls of quarters and 10 rolls of dimes. There could be one or two that a collector would want, but I'm not planning and researching the value of 900 coins.
