Minted silver coins have an advantage in a collapse. For people who do not have their own testing equipment they are more trustworthy. It’s easier to forge or fake a simple imprinted bar than an American Silver Eagle.

I love junk silver. Fractional denominations, easy to recognize (once you learn). The older stuff is better because it has different coin designs. Later silver dimes and quarters require closer examination than older half dollars, mercury dimes, etc.

Only people who knew how to test it would take it, but you might get some cheap silver that way. I can imagine people selling old, genuine silverware at a yard sale with no idea what it’s worth.
