I have a coin collection and I'm getting into melting and making ingots. I have a roll of 40% Kennedy's that are hard to get rid of for anything $ wise-that's what I would have sold. My collection is almost all key date/mint mark coins from sitting liberties to barbers to mercuries to modern day.
There's a post w/the ingots. I used only junk sterling for those. I ordered a good amount of silver shot and am going to get pouring into the mold down (its hard). The ingots you see are 92.5%, and their shape is just however they cooled in the crucible itself.

90% Silver Kennedy Halves were only made in 1964. Before that it was the Franklin Halves, also 90%.
From 1965-1972, Kennedy Halves were made of 40% Silver.

Hey what's up with that ingot?  Is it hand-poured?  At first I thought you said you made it yourself, but then I went back and reread.

It sounds kind of funky.  I'm curious.  Pics?

I have dimes, quarters, and a ton of '64-'72 Kennedy Halves (40% Silver), war nickels (40% Silver) and my almost 2 ounce 92.5+% ingot.
Weren't silver Kennedy Halves only minted between 1964 and 1970?

You're right, meant to say '65-72. Thanks though. I do have some 90% Kennedys and Franklins.

Your '64 Kennedy halves are 90% silver, I think.

Hi,
I have various silver coins (primarily US). As the title says, I will sell for less than spot-5%. I also have a homemade 92.5% silver 1.78 ounce ingot. If interested, the majority come in the form of Kennedy Halves. But I have pre-'64 dimes and quarters, too. Also, I have some very rare coins I know are of high value. So, if you're a collector we can bargain too. My supply is limited, so please let me know.
Thanks!
