message: The article says, "for example, U.S. pre-1965 half dollars, dimes, and quarters are 90% silver."  Are 1965 half dollars, dimes, and quarters silver?  I believe so, but this statement doesn't seem clear to me.

message: In the early 1960's, the silver supply for the nation's coinage was dwindling rapidly. As Congress and the Administration debated over silver's future role in coinage, the silver market jumped 10% immediately, and another 30% by 1962. This set the stage for the complete elimination of silver from our coinage by the end of 1964.
Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver. In the dime series, all coins dated 1965 or later are clad coins and contain no silver at all. Quarters dated 1965 or later are all copper-nickel clad coins except for the dual-dated Bicentennial Quarters that were sold by the Mint in special Mint Sets and Proof Sets. These quarters contain 40% fine silver and have an "S" mint mark. They are different from the Bicentennial quarters you can find in circulation and were sold by the Mint at a premium to collectors. 
In the Kennedy Half Dollar series, the 1964 of course is 90% silver. Halves dated 1965 through 1970 contain 40% silver. Halves dated 1971 or later are copper-nickel clad coins with the exception again of the special Bicentennial halves sold in the Mint Sets and Proof Sets with the "S" mint mark, which are 40% silver. Among Eisenhower dollars, coins dated from 1971 through 1974 with the S mintmark are 40% silver. In addition, the special Bicentennial Sets contained 40% silver coins. All other Eisenhower dollars are copper-nickel clad coins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.49.66.19 (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The caption of the chart reads "The large spike in 1980 was a result of the Hunt brothers' failure to corner the market and Silver Thursday".  Did their failure of their attempt to corner the market cause the spike?  It seems to me that the faiure caused prices to drop, but the attempt made prices spike.  Is that right?

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: I propose that Junk silver be merged into the "Investment vehicles" section of the article, since most of the "junk silver" article mostly consists of listings of each type of coins considered junk silver, which reminds me of WP:Fancruft. Without those content, the article would be better suited to be a section of Silver as an investment. Why not merge it into one article for types of silver investments? --NotReallySoroka (talk) 16:53, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
