Question by Adel: Where are good places to look for silver coins?
It seems like silver quarters/dimes are almost impossible to find in circulation these days. Do you think that looking through quarter rolls from banks is worth it? Is it possible that someone working in the bank can actually filter out the silver coins, making it impossible to find any in the rolls? I'm an amateur numismatist, and so far I've found only 1 silver quarter in high school (about 6 years ago) from 1943 and my brother came across a '64 recently and gave it to me. And the other day I found a silver dime from '47 in a roll-it sounds nice when you drop it on a countertop. I'd like to collect more, and don't have deep pockets to buy them from eBay, coin dealers, etc. What I want is to find them in circulation or anywhere or at face value - and please don't reply to tell me that's impossible, too bad, etc., because I do understand that most of these coins have been hoarded before I was born.

Question by lynz_viola: Attention numismatists and investors: Does tarnish negatively affect the value of silver coins?
I bought silver coins recently and some of the plastic slips they came in are not air tight. I am afraid that they may tarnish over time and their value will be affected negatively. Currently they are in nearly perfect uncirculated condition.

If the value of the coins would be harmed from tarnish I would like to preserve them with some type of casing or other product that would protect them. Thanks in advance!

Question by Delvala: What is the value of a silver quarter from 1950?
I found a pure silver (or at least, I think it's mostly silver?) quarter dated to 1950. Someone told me that they stopped making quarters like that around 1965, so I figured my quarter may be worth something to collectors.
Anyone know what that approximate value may be, and how I would go about selling it to someone (besides eBay)?

Question by Eclipse Girl: Can anyone tell me how much I could sell these Mexican Coins for?
1948 5 pesos 30g Mexican Silver Coin

1987 Juarez Mexican Silver Coin

??? Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
A 1948 Mexican 5 Pesos contains 0.8681 troy ounces of silver which is currently worth about US, and the coin is worth only slightly more than that. 1987 Mexican 50 Pesos is only worth US even if like new. These are retail prices, and a coin dealer would pay wholesale prices. The Mexican Peso was devalued in 1993, so the coins would be worthless as currency if you tried to spend them in Mexico today. I hope that helps.

Question by scienceguy: If I had 50.00mL of saturated silver sulfate solution, when evaporated leaving 0.25g of silver sulfate what is?
If I had 50.00mL of saturated silver sulfate solution, when evaporated leaving 0.25g of silver sulfate what is the

a) Amount of silver sulfate in the 50ml sample: .25g? b) molar solubility of silver sulfate
c)molar concentration of silver ion in saturated solution
d) molar concentration of sulfate ion in saturated solution
e) what is ksp expression of silver sulfate and how do i calculate it

Thanks for all the help guys :)

Best answer:

Answer by Trevor H
a) correct - 0.25g This does not agree with my solubility table for solubiity of Ag2SO4 My list says a saturated solution will contain 0.6g Ag2SO4 per 50ml saturated solution. I will use your figures.
Molar mass Ag2SO4 =311.799 g/mol
b) You have 0.25g in 50ml. How much in 1000ml? 1000/50*0.25 =5g
This is 5.0/311.799 = 0.0160mol per litre. Which is the molar solubility.
c) Ag2 = 107.87*2 = 215.74.
Molar conc. of Ag ions = 215.74/311.799*0.0160 = 0.011mol/litre
d)Molar conc. of SO4 ions = 92.066/311.799*0.016 = 0.00493 mol/litre
e) Ag2SO4 (s) → 2 Ag+ (aq) + SO4 2¯ (aq)
Ksp = [Ag+]² * [SO4 2¯ ]
Ksp = (0.011)² * (0.00493)
Ksp = 5.965 * 10^-7
