  Half dollars

  Dimes is what I will be buying next. It depends on your purpose, I suppose. I have a lot of silver in larger quanities, and want some in smaller amounts for the "just in case" scenarios.

  Quid pro quo. Yes or no?

  Halves for sure.

  Halves are the most easily manageable. Who wants to deal with 2000 silver dimes when you could have 400 halves instead?

  Seems to be more competition for Halves and Dimes. I've found you can usually get Quarters for closer to melt than you can the others.

  Quarters- Many varieties to search for. Definately NOT mercury dimes--I found this out the hard way. When i went to sell them the dealer wieghed them after counting them and subtracted for lack of enough weight.

  Same goes for Barbers, $10 in Barbers face will usually weigh significantly less than $10 face of Washingtons/Roosevelts/Kennedy/Franklins/etc.
  
  However, I have found that even though they weigh less, Barbers command a slight premium over other 90% junk silver. When I can get them for the same prices I always go for the oldest whether it be Barbers, WLHs, Mercurys, etc.
