Do you own Silver Coins ? Melt Value for a Quarter = $3.00

Get some boys! No, make it, get a whole bunch of them. May be the only way to buy/barter for food soon

[G's pks]

really I have a few warn out ones and a few dimes too what are they worth...a buck?

[Sam Odom]

Silver Dime = $1.26

[exstatman]

And those $10 casino tokens from Nevada may be worth more than that for the silver content.

[G's pks]

Silver Dime = $1.26

thanks good time to dumb a few...

wow

You won't get these prices, deduct about 10%.

You should get about 15.5X of face value today from an honest buyer.

[Doug]

wear isn't factored in. It all sells for the same multiple of face value. Some would prefer an old coin that is worn to a near new one from the early 60's.

wow

Silver is down about $1 from a week ago.

[Sam Odom]

what Doug & Odom are talking about are "junk silver" coins. its the intrinsic value that matters

[Sam Odom]

Silver is down about $1 from a week ago.

IMO... aint going no where but UP in the near future

some people laugh but darker days are ahead

[treece]

gold and silver will both keep going up because obama printed so much money.

[Hoja Verdes]

The bottom is about to fall out of both the gold and silver markets, mark my word.

Fall. the. fu*k. out.

I'll reference this post in the near future when it happens, so all of the "sky is falling" / "buy high sell low" folks can't say I didn't warn them.

[Sam Odom]

The bottom is about to fall out

define "about"

what time frame?

[Mr. Jones]

I have 19 silver dollars from the 1800's. They are all in pretty decent condition. Wondering if there is collectable value in addition to just the value of the silver. Have had them since the 80's, and back then I seem to recall I got them for $5.50 apiece or so.

Have paid no attention to them since those years and really know very little about coins and/or silver. Anybody got a ballpark figure on these?

[Sam Odom]

Jones , you have 300.00 +/- in melt value

[Doug]

what Doug & Odom are talking about are "junk silver" coins. its the intrinsic value that matters

Yes, numismatically valuable collector coins are a whole different animal. Most of what non numismatists are likely to own falls under junk silver, so 15X face value is the minimum you should take for pre 1965 dimes, quarters, and halves regardless of condition if selling. Real silver dollars , pre- 1936 are worth a bit more at minimum.

Halves of 1965-9 are worth around $3. Nickels from 1942-5 about $1. some 1942's are not silver all 1943-5 are.

Wheatback cents pre- 1959 are worth 5 cents in bulk.

Cents from before 1982 are copper and worth a maybe 1.5 to two cents, but are illegal to melt. current nickels contain their face value in copper and nickel....not a bad thing to hoard.

[Mr. Jones]

Jones , you have 300.00 +/- in melt value

Thanks for your response sir.

Kinda, YouTube "The Money Masters".. it is a 22 part documentary explaining money.

[Doug]

they are better than melt value, more like $20 a coin minimum.

[Doug]

Silver dollars have more silver than 4 quarters, 10 dimes, etc.

plus a premium as a collector item.

[ncat12]

ho yeah any chance the 'indian nickels' are worth more than .05?

[Doug]

ho yeah any chance the 'indian nickels' are worth more than .05?

absolutely yes. They are the same metal ( 75% copper, 25% nickel) as today so it's not for metallic value.

average condition common dates with a full date go for about $1 each retail....look on ebay.

even ones with the dates worn off entirely fetch about 15-20 cents in bulk for use as jewelry items....they really need to be in quantity though for that. A coin dealer in NY won't want a few of them, they need bags of them to ship to AZ, NM, etc. for the "Indians" to make tacky jewelry out of.

[Doug]

If one is inclined to try to see if their coins might be rarer dates, try this link....

http://www.pcgs.com/prices/default.aspx

click on the appropriate series in question. You'll need to know where to find any mintmark....on the reverse of any non-modern coin. If you see something that starts out high, then it is valuable, like a 1916-D dime. Start in the far left column ( lowest grade).

[Doug]

For example with Peace dollars look under the "4" column. that's very low grade. You want 1921 and 1928.

1921 Morgan dollars are very common. This pasted poorly, see the PCGS site.

i made a killing about 5 years ago when i worked in a bank. i would have them order me $2000 worth of half dollars from the feds. i made out with about $600 face worth of pre 1969 halfs. i'd say about $200 of that were pre 64. you'd be surprised what people send to the feds. oldest one i found in a roll was a 1903. plenty of walking liberty's and franklins in the mix as well
