Silver Coins

     I collect silver coins.  There are many different kinds of silver.  There are silver quarters, dimes, half dollars, Peace dollars, Morgan dollars, and Silver Eagles.  Some coins are coated in silver while others are all silver.  Silver Eagles are full silver.  Morgan dollars and Peace dollars are  usually around 90% silver.

     Silver coin prices change over time.  Morgan dollars and Peace dollars are usually pretty expensive because they are older and they don't make them anymore, so it is hard to find ones in good condition.  The condition also changes the price.  Peace dollars and Morgan dollars are usually dated in the late 1800's or in the early 1900's.  Silver eagles are newer and they are still making them.  Half dollars can be old or sometimes new also. There are Franklin half dollars, Kennedy half dollars, Walking Liberty half dollars, and more.  These are usually dated in the early 1900's and the mid-1900's.  They can be 40% silver or 90% silver.  I do not know a lot about the silver quarters and the silver dimes.  You can buy silver on ebay.com.
