Look For THESE $12 Quarters IMMEDIATELY!

$12 Silver Quarters Explained (Pre-1965 90% Silver)

A pre-1965 quarter isn’t just “25 cents.” If it was minted before 1965, it’s a 90% silver quarter (often called junk silver or constitutional silver)—and with silver above $64 per troy ounce, one of these classic quarters can be worth around $12 in silver value.

In this video, Mike Maharrey shows a 1962 Washington quarter and explains why older U.S. coins contain real silver, while modern quarters are a cheap clad alloy. You’ll also hear why the term “junk silver” is backwards—and what this $12 quarter reveals about currency devaluation, inflation, and why many people choose to hold gold and silver as real money.

The mainstream financial media buried the lede in its reporting on last week’s Fed meeting.

They reported on the rate cut. They sliced and diced the dot plots. They analyzed every syllable coming out of Jerome Powell’s mouth. But they barely mentioned the biggest story – the Fed just restarted quantitative easing (QE).

In this week’s Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people.

Hint: it means more inflation.

“Hawkish” Rate Cut? The Fed Quietly Turned the Money Printer Back On

“Hawkish” rate cut… or just more easy money with better PR? 🧐💸

In this episode, Money Metals analyst Mike Maharrey breaks down the Fed’s December meeting and explains why the so-called “hawkish” rate cut looks a lot more like the same old money printing.

While Wall Street obsessed over dot plots and Powell’s press conference spin, the Fed quietly teed up a new round of balance-sheet expansion by buying short-term Treasuries.

They won’t call it quantitative easing—they’ll dress it up as “reserve management” and “technical operations” 🤹‍♂️—but if it walks like QE and quacks like QE… does the label really matter?

So, has silver cracked the fundamental relationship between price and demand?

It appears that way, as silver demand is increasing even as the price skyrockets.

Inflation isn’t just “rising prices” – it’s your money losing value.

In this short Money Metals video, our precious metals analyst breaks down a better way to think about inflation. Instead of blaming Publix or “greedy corporations” for higher prices, he shows why the real problem is a falling purchasing power of the dollar.

Using a simple gallon-of-milk example, he explains:

✅ Why saying “prices are rising” hides what’s really going on

✅ How expanding the money supply quietly erodes your savings

✅ Why the correct definition of inflation is currency debasement, not just higher prices

✅ How government and central bank policies are the true drivers of long-term cost-of-living increases

In this short on-the-ground video, Mike explains how the word “trade” meant something very different in the Founding era than it does today. When the Constitution granted Congress the power to “regulate commerce,” it referred narrowly to the movement of goods from place to place — not every form of economic life, and certainly not a blank check for federal bureaucrats.

Over time, politicians, judges, and agencies have twisted that limited power into a justification
