Silver Content V. Numismatic Value

To me e-bay sellers seem to get a good price.
I have a friend well 3 friends that do very well on e-crater
If you had more posts you could sell them here.

I do have pictures, like this:

If possible, try to list them in order so we can associate the date with the picture. And without seeing a detailed picture, we'll only be able to give you a rough grade/price.

For most very common coins the numismatic value is erased when the price of silver exceeds a certain level then their value is determined by the amount of silver in the coin. We are at that state now with the spot price of silver exceeding the numismatic value for the most common dimes, quarters and half dollars in MS-60 or lower condition. The separation of their "melt" value and the numismatic value begins to distance themselves when the grade is MS-63 or greater.

Typically the so called better dates will always have a premium over "melt" value but that too can be erased one circulated grade at a time as silver climbs even higher. The semi key and key dates even in the lower grades are somewhat resistant to the price of silver as demand for them would maintain the premium to some extent.

What your goals are in collecting will determine how you are going to proceed. Of the common date silver long term buying of high grade, MS-64+, coins will have a better stability than lower grades which are more affected by the whims of the silver speculators.

Thanks. That's what I'm trying to get at, whether some are worth more than silver value, say $22 each.

I can re-shoot them, with mint marks, but for now here's a list of what I have:

1886P $1
1889P $1
1896 $1
1900 O $1
2 1921 $1
3 1922P $1
3 1922 S $1

Silver dollars contain .77344 ounce of silver but trade at a premium over "melt" value due to the demand for them. The amount over "melt" depends on the condition, VF and lower retail about $32.00, XF about $34.00, AU about $36.00. Some dealers' premium might be less and some might be more. Dealer buy prices can be as low as melt value or less depending on how greedy they are. Honest dealers will pay about $3.00 to $4.00 under their retail price.

Ask $40 per coin...you could always haggle later. Selling them singularly should bring more (not much) than as a group.
