This quantity represents a collection of United States silver coins minted from 1878 to 1904, and once again in 1921, commonly assembled to achieve a specific weight. The actual number of coins within such an assemblage will vary depending on their individual wear and tear, but it typically contains approximately 15-17 pieces.
These coins, composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, possess both intrinsic metal value and numismatic interest. Their historical significance stems from their role in late 19th and early 20th century American commerce. The silver content contributes to their bullion value, while the distinct designs and historical context often appeal to collectors, potentially increasing their worth beyond the melt value of the silver.
