In this short video, the presenter explains the concept of junk silver bags containing Peace silver dollars, focusing on the $100 face‑value bag. He clarifies that a $100 bag contains 100 Peace dollars (or 400 quarters, 1,000 dimes, 200 half‑dollars) and describes the expected weight of each silver dollar (approximately 0.859 troy ounces, often rounded to 0.86 on a scale). He notes that older coins may weigh slightly less (e.g., 0.85 oz) due to wear over a century. Using the current market price of silver at about $58 per ounce, he calculates that each Peace dollar has an intrinsic silver value of over $45, far exceeding its $1 face value.

That's $50. So here we have junk silver, $100 bag of Peace silver dollars. I personally like these the best because they're the largest and they are all early. So $100 means it's $100 in face value, as it says on the bag. What that means is there's 100 of these. If you had quarters, it would end up being 400. If you had something like dimes, then it would be 1,000. And of course, half dollars would be 200. So when it comes to the Peace Silver Dollars or any silver dollars, this is what it's supposed to weigh. It's supposed to be 0.859, but as the scale says, it rounded up to 0.86. And that's in troy ounces or ounces troy. That's why you see the OZT. Now over here is another one, and it only came up as 0.85. That's okay because sometimes with wear and tear, being that these coins are mostly over 100 years old, you lose a little bit of weight. Now with all of these coins, with the prices being $58 in silver right now, each one of these is over $45 full value. Please subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.
