how do you get better prices for bullion than for "junk" ?

Premiums for 10 or 100oz bars are smaller than dollars and half dollars, at least in my experiences.

Better prices for sure with bullion. But I like both.

They aren't fine silbver, and they don't have a numismatic premium, so my guess is the term "junk" is from before everything was cupro-nickel, and they were only worth literal pocket change. If you or anyone else knows better than my etymological guess here, let me know!
