90% silver (junk) - should I add to my stack and if so how?  UK based so bear that in mind.

The principal appeal of U.S. 90% junk silver is that it’s common (such that premiums are low), fractional, and widely recognized as currency in the U.S.  usually people that stack junk silver in the U.S. for those benefits. Can the same be said of it in the U.K.?

I love me some British junk silver, pre 1920's half crowns are often close to spot. Cheapest are usually threepences, which are tiny little froggers.

Weren’t U.K. silver coins made from .925 sterling?

Yes pre 1920

Are there any U.K. 90% silver coins?

No. Not normal British minted circulation ones anyway. 

I think there's some weird tokens and I suppose you could argue there's some countermarked coins that would be around 90%

Edit forgot about trade dollar but again is that a UK coin? Either way no good for stacking as they are pretty pricey.

@vacancies it seems like U.S. junk silver might not have the same advantages in the U.K. Does it still meet your stacking goals?

Just adding to what others have said, keep an eye on the European Mint as they occasionally offer kilo weight bags.
