    Not sure what you might find but I'd want to know what is in there.

    I've heard that 40% is not the best form of silver to hold onto, that 90% or .999 is better. (Same for war nickels).

    I'd sell and buy 90% or .999 if you wanted to hold silver.

    To put it in British terms, would you rather have sterling coin or 50% silver coin?

    Face value of a US Mint bag was $1,000 for 40% silver half dollars.

    obviously a quarter bag in a bag

    need to open to see what is in it, otherwise buyer could say it was something else.

    "...obviously a quarter bag in a bag"

    Oh....I thought they were half dollars not quarters - 40% silver quarters would be quite a find!

    My point was that a bag of "500 pieces" is not original to anything - regardless of what it might say on the bag, or on grandpa's trunk in which it was stored "since he died in early 1965."

    I thought the bison was on the nickel (or is that"nickle")?

    If they are all BU, I'd go through them. There are some decent varieties to be found in those 40%. It will take a long while, but could be worth the trouble.

    Put away for a rainy day

    I would say just put it away.... Then, when something specific comes up (coin, bullion price etc.) sell as a bag. Cheers, RickO
