Collectors love those shiny proof coins and overpriced limited edition releases, but sometimes the most underrated treasure is found in the humble pocket change of decades past(USA only). Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, and half dollars are often called “junk silver,” yet there is nothing junk about 90% pure history. These circulated coins have survived world wars, recessions, booms, and generational change. They have been spent on food, fuel, and family needs long before anyone cared about spot prices or premium charts. When you hold one, you are holding time itself.
While they may lack the flashy packaging and colourised designs we often see today, constitutional silver(as it is officially known) offers a range of benefits many stackers appreciate. It is easily recognisable, trusted, and divisible in a way larger bullion pieces simply are not. That makes it an ideal option for anyone stacking for utility as well as value. Plus, when premiums rise during a bull market, these once overlooked coins suddenly become star performers. The irony is that the same people who ignore them during quieter times tend to panic when they disappear from shelves later.

If you ever stumble across a bag of tarnished old quarters at a decent enough price, think twice before dismissing it. Those coins have already proven their worth over half a century of circulation, and they may continue to outperform expectations in the years ahead. Sometimes the best stacking decision is the simplest one: don’t overlook the silver that looks like everyday money. Because one day, it might be exactly that again....
I'd buy Constitutional silver over fractional generic silver, and my favorite is quarters, @welshstacker !
