There’s a difference between bullion (rounds, bars, etc., issued by random private mints) vs coins (issued by government mints). The coins are well-recognized and trusted for their silver content (such as Silver Eagles, and junk silver that is old silver dimes/quarters). Certain reputable private mints will have bars/rounds that are well-recognized and trusted too. Old junk silver (dimes, quarters, etc) is just worth the melt value of the silver content, and is good to have in case of SHTF emergency bartering. Uncirculated Silver Eagles and certain other coins will sell with a premium due to collector’s value though.
