The practice of acquiring U.S. silver dollars based on weight, rather than individual coin assessment, refers to purchasing these historical currency items in bulk. The entity “govmint” in this context suggests a governmental or quasi-governmental organization involved in the distribution or sale of such assets. An example would be the purchase of a quantity of Morgan or Peace silver dollars based on their total weight in pounds.

This acquisition method may appeal to those seeking the intrinsic silver value of the coins, particularly when the numismatic premium (collector’s value) is minimal.
