Question by b907707: How much is a 1963 silver dime graded a PF 68 Ultra Cameo by NGC worth?
It is silver, proof, and a PF 68 Ultra Cameo.

Best answer:

Answer by mirrorcoin
Your coin is worth around .00. If you ever decide to sell your coin it may sell easy due to the fact that it was graded by NGC . I saw some coins like yours on eBay that were selling for a higher price, although eBay isn't the best place to look for values of coins. Hold on to your coin for it's value may increase more in the future. I hope this helps answer your question.

Question by tony: what US silver dollar coins were made 1900. I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of coin?
I have one coin from 1900 and can't figure out the name of the coin, It is a silver dollar. In front of coin it says liberty in god we trust and has the date 1900. And has a women standing up with her hand out. And in back of coin it says United states of America. 1 oz fine silver one dollar, I know for sure is is not a Morgan dollar.

Best answer:

Answer by jabbotuk
It sounds like a commemorative coin - legal tender but not standard issue - because standard issue would not bear the inscription "1 oz fine silver".

Question by mossme89: Is now a good time to invest in bullion coins?
So the economy seems like it could hit the fan again anytime soon, so i was thinking, would it be a good idea to invest in something of material value like silver coins? I was thinking about getting the Kennedy half-dollars (even the ones with 40%) silver or "junk silver". As long as a coin has more material value than its face value, im happy. Are coins with more material value than their face value rare, or is it something that if i go to a bank i would have a good chance of picking them up?
if i would buy coins, i would get them from a bank for face value. Would this work?

Best answer:

Answer by Judy
Be a bit careful with coins.
They are easy to buy, hard to sell.
You are not paying for the gold weight - you are paying for the desgin also.
If you go to sell and no one wants your design you'll come out losing.
Go on ebay and look at all the people selling exactly what you are about to buy for much less.
My dad did it for a few years and has regretted it all his life.
If you collect the coins - do it as a hobby - not as an investment.

Open a brokerage account.
But something called GLD = gold
or SLV = silver
This is the REAL way to invest in gold and silver - the way smart people do it.
Contact Charles Schwab or Fidelity Investments.
They don't charge a penny for opening an account.
The commission for buying your gold stock will be less than 10 bucks.
You can also buy long term cd's for free
You can aslo buy gold bullion from a treasury office.

Question by sportin wood: How to turn junk silver into good casting grain for later use?
I have alot of scrap silver that I want to melt into casting grain..I have a furnace that I have melted silver in before but I cant seem to get the nice small grains for ease of melting later..I also have some .999 fine that I want to turn into sterling casting grain..Any help would be great
Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by tigris
generally I don't think it's worth the bother. The problem is that your sterling silver is an alloy, and whenever you melt it, some of the metal with a lower melting point vaporizes. Repeated melting and casting doesn't really improve the metal.
I never bothered to convert scrap metal in an extra step into casting grain. But out of curiosity I looked it up and it's apparently done by pouring molten metal into a large bucket of water. Sounds not entirely safe, but I guess if the quantity of the metal used at one time isn't too great it shouldn't be too bad if you keep your head out of the hot steam and wear a faceshield.

Not sure about turning fine silver into sterling silver, because I think there are quite a number of different alloys of sterling silver which have different additives beside copper. If you really want to try that I would search through some books for professional jewelers. I think it will require some reading for if you want to use it for anything you want to sell you have to make sure you still have the required silver content.

Question by dart6500: If the US dollar crashes is it smart to have junk pre 1964 silver dimes (90% sliver) worth each currently?
My basic concern is that if the dollar crashes and we go to a trading system temporarily, how would the lay person know the value of silver if technology shuts down do to the crash? Would it be a smart investment?
thanks for your help

Best answer:

Answer by glenn
First off this did not even happen in the great depression or any of the great panics in the 1800's.

You are right that no one would know how much any of this stuff is worth. If we had a nuclear war or something and had to go back to a barter economy it would be the people that own food or generators or fuel or medicine that would be rich. I doubt silver or gold would be very useful.

Question by Barbara: where can I sale silver coins for the value of silver?

Best answer:

Answer by I'mForPeace
If you have real silver coins, you would be fare better off financially to sell them as coins to a collector or to a coin shop.

Few coins have silver in them. You must go back to some pretty old coins for silver.

So, if yu have silver coins, sell them as coins!
