I still have a bunch of those. Why is it called junk silver?

I have a bunch too. Some of mine are better dates or mint marks, so I keep those separate from the rest. The "Junk Silver" term refers to the 'collectible' aspect. If the coin silver value is more than collectible value, then all its value is based on silver content, so there is NO collectible value, so Junk Silver: only value is in the silver content.
thanks for the explanation
