Question about 1964 coinage

[EarlyBird]

I've been going thru old coinage today; are the 1964 coins considered in the
junk silver catagory or is it PRE 1964 only? In other words, 1993 and older?
Thanks Guys/Gals

1964 were silver also, it was in 65 it became non silver (half dollars had some silver until 67 or 69 I think)

What about 1964 quarters?

Quarters, dimes, half dollars from 1964 and before are all 90% silver. After 64 they are not (except half dollars, I just looked it up. 65-1970 kennedy halfs are 40% silver).

Thanks Saved. Where do you go to look this info up?
Do you have a link? If so, I'd like to pass it on to my kids.

Thanks, Saved. I've got a bunch of 1776-1976 Eisenhower Dollar coins too.
My Dad saved coins and I got them when he died - only child.

May be time to see what those real them old ones are worth and change them into gold?

[EarlyBird]

My thoughts exactly! I just wish he'd saved alot more of the real silver ones.

This gives the silver content of all pre 1964 coins.

Thanks, Liverock. Prices on both Gold and Silver are sky rocketing - UP
and Away. A bit too high for buying right now. Luckily I bought some
at lower prices.
