Question by fisher_cal: how much actual silver in three junk silver dollars in troy ounces?

Best answer:

Answer by John
The USA stopped putting silver in coins in 1964. There was some silver in half dollars a few years after that. I think up to 1970. Coins 1964 and older are worth 10 to 11 times the face value ( a dime would be worth . to .10). The half dollars 1965to 1970 are worth about . or so each.

Question by Leon: is it a good investment to buy the silver 50 states us quarters proof set?

Best answer:

Answer by TAS_Wine_Drinker
I think if you live to be 100 or want to will to someone in your estate it could be.

The problem is that it is common currency - nothing really special about it.

Question by bradzb: How many Silver Dollars in a 75 gallon tank?
I've been cycling a 75 gallon tank now for a month and everything is at a good level for dollars. I check it every other day. Currently have five mollies in the tank to help with cycling, no deaths and everything is good.
Looking at getting some silver dollars this coming weekend and the question is how many. Thinking of doing 8-10 sound good?
Also, thinking about going with some freshwater shrimp in the future, feasible or no?

Best answer:

Answer by love_in_him

Question by hiraan: Silver Dollars?!!?
When I brought my Silver Dollars they're fine. After about one month they've started a fight actually I'm not sure if it's a fight or not because it didn't appear that they're harming each other, they more likely to be chasing each other very fast!. At first, I thought they're playing, but yesterday I saw one of them is hiding!
Is there any possibility they'd fight, if so what should I do?
Please help I've been told that SilverDollars prefer to live with their fellows, I'm confused!.
I feed them twice a day(an amount which can be eaten in one minute). Recently, they tend to not eat when I feed them the second time!.
I know, the tank space is enough there's plants(false), I've some wood decoration. Everything is prepared!.

Answer by gtogoat
Silver Dollars do prefer being in groups of 2 or more. I would say that they are just having fun with each other. You are feeding them enough and keeping the tank clean right? Keep an eye on them, but I would say if they have been in the tank for 1 month then started doing this that they are just playing.

Question by sagen: What do you need to make gold/silver coins at home?
I have started refining gold and am having trouble finding all the tools to make my own coins or tokens at home. I know you need a bench press and blank cutter but and upper and lower die. But where do you get them? And what are the steps to make something to be proud of. Not some back porch hammer slapped junk. I want to put my sons name on them so they must look very good! Can you tell me how AND where to get my needed tools?

Best answer:

Answer by muncie birder
The Greeks made absolutely beautify coins using hand cut dies, a hand cut glob of silver or gold and a very heavy hammer. The tetradrachmas of Syracuse were absolute works of art and coin collectors today are willing to pay thousands for them. As for where to obtain dies already made, you might call Silvertown in Winchester, In and ask they where they get their dies made. They actually will make the coins for you if you wish. My company had some made by them. I have one.

Question by pestina182: Is my silver penny worth more than I think?
I recently found a 1943 "silver" penny. The United States was short on copper because of the war and resorted to making zinc-covered steel pennies. I know of people that discovered copper pennies from this same year. These were accidentally cast in copper and are extremely rare. My penny, although silver-colored, seems to have some traces of copper mixed in. It is magnetic, suggesting that it is made of steel and zinc, but what about the bits of copper color showing through? Is this just many years taking a toll on the steel and zinc, or is my penny worth more than I think?

Question by flipperr: Silver coins?
What holds more value for silver coins, coins that are new or old coins? I have a set of both old and new but I want to know which one hold more value.

Also is the value of silver based on the "ounce" or "type of coin" that goes into circulation?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
It depends on which is the rarest and the grade of the coin. There are no circulating silver coins. The silver value is far more than face. Most countries in the mid 1960 stopped striking silver coinage for general circulation. When it come to bullion coins such as the silver eagle with a face value of it sells for at least 18 to 20 times that, then it is the one ounce of silver in it unless it happens to be a low mintage or special one, that had few minted. Another thing what do you mean by old, old is the 1800's and before.

Question by NorCalGuy: Where can I sell about 50 Morgan silver dollars in Northern California?
I am pretty sure there is no numismatic value and their value is in the silver content. I am guessing they are in pretty average condition from 1880's to 1900. No Carson City mint coins. I'd like to know what the spread is between buying and selling in this market.
I would like to find a reputable dealer within driving distance of the east bay but, may do a couple hundred miles for a good price.

if you mail it to me i'll send you 0. but thats a collectors item!

Question by waratthedoor: Silver dollar?
What is more likely to retain its value and gain in value?

A Silver Dollar or a Dollars worth of silver

Best answer:

Answer by Jennifer W
A silver dollar. Silver isn't worth very much on it's own. It's one of the cheapest metals actually. Silver dollars however can gain value as they age in terms of being collectors items.
