Junk silver, at least in numismatic/investment terms, is plain old silver coins, pre 1964. You're right. Generally, the face value of the silver coinage amounts to $1000. The actual value today is somewhere around $3500. The WSJ carries actual numbers. Most of the junk silver has little to no numismatic value (you can find plenty of coin dealers willing to share their find of someone's silver hoard (G)). If you're looking for investment quality stuff, seek a coin dealer who sells "slabbed" coins, which have been graded and are encased in a "slab" of plastic. These coins are very negotiable.
