Junk vs Bullion

What is your silver of choice, junk silver or bullion? For us Canadians, the Canadian Maple is the bullion silver of choice, at least it is mine. For those with deeper pockets, it is the gold maple. Beautiful, but super pricey at the moment. I am also a fan of the American silver eagle, but partial to the maple for obvious reasons. Next we have the “junk silver”, also known as circulated currency. Up until 1967, our dollars, half dollars, quarters, and dimes were composed of 80% silver and 20% copper. Earlier currency was 92.5% silver. Down south in the US, the cut off was 1964, but the silver % was 90 instead of 80. As far as I know, the half dollars issued after 1964 were 40% silver for a few years. What is your silver of choice, and do your prefer to collect your own countries silver or foreign silver, or both?
