Face value represents the nominal value of an asset. For example, the face value of money is set by the federal government and printed directly on it, so it's easy to identify. In the investment industry, face value typically involves the value of securities, such as stocks and bonds.

Assuming you're talking about US coins then dimes, quarters, halves and dollar coins from 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. If you take a quarter from 1960 to your local store and spend it, it's worth 25 cents. If you take it to a coin dealer it's worth very approximately $2.50 at current silver prices.

Since 90 percent silver coins are older and no longer officially minted, they can be worth much more than their actual face value. For example, an 1894-S Barber dime has a stated value of nearly $2 million. In this instance, the reason is because only 24 of these silver coins were made.

Typically these coins are not considered for their numismatic value, and they are often traded for their silver bullion content in $100, $500, and $1000 face value rolls or bags.

So what's the difference between constitutional and junk silver? Junk silver isn't valued for its collectability, but some constitutional silver coins can be sold for more than their melt value because of numismatic reasons.

Any quarter made in 1964 or earlier is 90% silver, and the raw value of the silver is now worth more than the 25-cent face value of the coin itself.

In Mathematics, face value is the actual value of the digit in a number. For example, if 567 is a number, then the face value of 6 is 6 only, whereas its place value is tens (i.e. 60). Thus, for any number, having a two-digit, three-digit or 'n' number of digits, every digit will have a place value and a face value.

To add up to an ounce of silver, it takes three pre-1965 half dollars, six quarters, or 14 dimes.
