Silver Stacking Constitutional Silver   Watch more great videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxATu7-BBCMc3GKt9D4QdNrSgx5OYnQ4c   As Silver stackers we learn to be patient and diligent to find those great deals on silver to add weight to our stacks.   The Franklin half dollar is classified a Constitutional Silver with a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper.  The Franklin half dollar was struck in relatively small numbers in its first years, as there was limited demand due to a glut of Walking Liberty halves. No half dollars were struck at Denver in 1955 and 1956 due to a lack of demand.  The San Francisco Mint closed in 1955; it did not reopen until 1965.  In 1957, with improved economic conditions, demand for the pieces began to rise.

Constitutional silver goes by many aliases among these are “90% silver” and “Junk silver” but I have noticed that most people refer to it as junk silver and that wouldn’t be wrong but I would like to take a moment to explain that there is a difference between true junk silver and true constitutional silver.  The term “junk silver’ is synonymous with any silver item containing a reasonable percentage of actual silver in its composition and this would indeed include constitutional silver and thus the term is being used accurately.  But the term “Constitutional silver” refers to a very specific category silver coinage as defined by the US Constitution and thus would be more accurately described as such.

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;  It wasn’t until the Coinage Act of 1792 that the nation established their own mint and clearly defined what a US dollar is.  DOLLARS OR UNITS—each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and sixteen grains of standard silver.
