    Came across silver stacking videos on youtube recently and it has me interested. A couple questions I have for the forum.

    1) I know that pre 1065 coins (dimes, quarters, half dollars) are 90% silver and 65-70 half dollars are 40% silver. My question is; Are 65-70 dimes and quarters also 40% silver?

    2) Looking to make my first purchase of silver in the next couple weeks (or sooner). Was thinking about investing $200 to get started. What suggestions do you have for my first purchase?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks House.
    I do know all about Google. That's how I found this site. Got sidetracked and just decided to ask here.
