Find a coin dealer in your area that buys and sells ‘junk’ silver. Most buy and sell very used coins based on their silver content. These are coins pre-1964, most of which were 80% silver. Do your homework as to what a silver coin is worth in terms it’s silver value rather than it’s face value. (Factor in sales tax if your dealer charges it)

A website that helped me understand things better in the beginning was;

Hope this helps.

BTW, you may not be able to buy groceries with a krugerand, But most will know a real siver dime when they see one.

Correction: 90% silver. 0.715 ounces per dollar of face value (assumes 1% wear).
