This neat dollar-sized pocket piece was issued in 1970 and bears the inscription “REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM” on one side and “I WAS THERE” on the other. Would make a great gift for any Vietnam veteran. I have been able to acquire a few of these neat pieces and am offering them on my website.

Junk silver dimes do offer several advantages. First, they provide small increments of barter. Secondly, like silver rounds, this form of silver coinage generally carries a low premium over the spot market price of silver — unless during situations of physical supply shortages. (In other words, the market value of “junk silver” is very close to the actual melt value of the junk coins.) Thirdly, they are legal U.S. tender (albeit only for the face value). Finally, junk silver bags are recognized around the world as a trading medium and are therefore very liquid.
For every $1.40 in face value of a combination of dimes, quarters, and half dollars pre-1965 there is the equivalent of 1 troy ounce of silver. Another way to look at this is for every $1.00 in face value there is .715 troy ounces. For example, you have $10.00 face value of silver quarters, then that is equal to 7.15 troy ounces (10.00 x .715 = 7.15). In addition, if you take $1.40 and multiply it by .715 you get the desired $1.00 amount.
