0.715 is the accepted multiplier for small 90% junk, what is it for junk 90% silver dollars?

PreTurb

... proportional to 0.715 would be ~0.764

What is generally accepted? (I know it may not be used too often)

.77 on silver dollars.

Your question interested me, so I asked other dealers over on my dealer-to-dealer network.

There is no commonly accepted average net weight for pre-1936 dollars. They just trade by count.

However, FWIW, one of them weighed three bags he happened to have sitting in his shop, and came up with an average net weight of 762.15 ounces pure, vs. 773.4 oz. for a bag of BU dollars. There was about a 1% difference between the heaviest bag and the lightest bag.

Hope this helps.

While these number appear accurate, please remember that dollars usually have a premium over the smaller coins. I would trade my 90% at .715 for dollars at .77 all day long.

What about 40% Ikes vs. 40% halves and quarters?

The only 40% quarters I can think of were the 1976-S proofs so keep in mind you won't be seeing many of them.

0.290 would be my multiplier for 40% halves and quarters. 40% dollars would need a larger multiplier such as 0.310 due to their weight (same issue from OP).

40% never brings close to these numbers though.
