JLB - wait for silver to keep climbing. Your looking at near and over $40 OZt in the next 5 quarters so unless your very desperate for paper currency to live, hang on and you'll be getting a lot higher prices by this time next year.

For me, there are two components that make up the value of a silver coin.
There is the bullion value, which is dependent on the actual silver weight and the current price of silver.
Then there is the added on numismatic value.
With the current high price of silver, the numismatic value of a common silver coin in average condition may be negligible. In this case. you just check the silver price only.

We have not done the deal yet, but I have an offer of $28.33 for the Morgans and Peace(s).
Guess you won't get $28 if you ask $25.

Just to answer this thread----- At a local coin show, you can buy some nice, not cull, morgan and Peace dollar at spot price of silver, good quality coins, not fine or anything, but you can still read dates and could see details, just not ms or au by any degree. once 90% silver hits a certain spot silver price, the premium on the coin goes down. at this point, I'm buying 90% at spot, and who knows, if silver crashes, I may get a premium on the coins, but if silver goes up, I'm not getting any premium for my morgans or Peace dollars which arent graded -just my opinion |

Let's assume that silver prices will continue to rise, maybe not dramatically, but exceeding inflation and numismatic value. Does this mean that eventually coins in most series will be worth the same thing except for a few scarcer varieties? What concerns me are the ones that are currently slightly over melt right now. If I were to buy one at a premium now, eventually it would be worth the same as all the others. Makes adding those coins to my collection a bit discouraging.

@$700 you would be getting $36/ozt of silver. Right now, that's $1.50 over spot, so I feel that's a very fair offer and would take it if I were you.

Sometimes you go to the Internet to get information fromthose who know more than you about a subject, and then wind up being the one to provide the information you, yourslef, sought.
In this case, the anser to my original question is that you can set the full current silver price for "junk" msilver coins. The silver spot right now is $34.60, making the silver value of $1 in silver coins $26.76.
I got $700 for $26.10 in coins, or $28.82 per dollar, via craigslist in a small market.
The interest in silver coins is great, such that although most will not pay that, someone will.

Then I opened the very next email from the cl ad and it was offering $450 for the 10 silver dollars.

It occurs to me that in the original photo I posted to the criagslist ad, and never changed, there were 16 silver dollars. The $450 bid came without a previous email, so they are probably offering on all 16.
That's $28.125 each, more in line with the silver value.
