Hey, been out of the collecting world when it comes to coins for a couple years. I recently (like just today) bought a bunch of silver from an older woman, and I want to know what the going rate is these days for face value.
What do the average collector pay for face value? $20 x face?
What do dealers currently offer on face value? $18?
Im just guessing here, but I hope someone can give me a ball park.
I purchased almost $250 in face value worth of silver halfs, dimes, quarters, and morgans/peace dollars.
Thanks

Itll depend on the silver content of the coin but silver right now is going for about 27 an ounce.

Certain websites (like moderator edit - please do not mention that website - there is a reason it's been added to the swearword filter) will give you the melt value, which is $20.44 times face at the time of this posting. Depending on where you live, local dealers will pay anywhere from 2/3 to 9/10 of melt. The big online dealers typically pay around 95%.
For most deals, I try to split the difference between what the local dealers are paying and melt value.

Instead of referring people to a website that spammed it's way to the top of Google searches, try another website, like CurrencyDebasement.  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

You never mentioned if your planning on selling them or just want to know what it may be worth. And did you look them over for coin values?

Ya I already looked through them all for key dates. Everything is pretty much only worth the face value in silver. Everything is 90% silver, with the exception of $14 in 40% half dollars, and possibly 3 mexican coins I'm not too sure of. After checking ebay, it appears that silver is selling for up to $24-$26 times face value. I would like to keep everything and put it into my collection, but I may be selling some just to get some cash back. There was a $5 gold coin in the collection as well. |

When I sell silver, I sell private party on the internet. A good picture, ship insured, signature required, and tape the heck out of box.

If you bought $250 face silver, you owe her $5,750.
23x face is fair market value.

The last time I checked, *** Edited by Staff | The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. *** was not a swear word and it appears that your website is actively engaging in censorship based on some internal conflict with another website. I certainly have no knowledge of any past problems you've had with them, but I do have a problem with my posts being censored for what I perceive to be petty squabbling in the attempt to steer people to (or away from) certain sites on your behalf. I have another problem with this not being disclosed in your terms of service, and I deem your behavior to be a breach of contract.

I have a statement to make:
"If any members of your team are captured or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim."
Makes about as much sense.
