Technically it's not a coin. It's Silver bullion made from a private mint,not the US mint.Current melt value for 1 Troy oz of .999 silver is 17.69 but a collector of older bars/Rounds or fantasy pieces might pay more than melt. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Here's another one on ebay diff date.There's actually a lot of these on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-A-Mark...AOSwmtJXaBIl Personally I wouldn't pay more than $18.00 Edited by jasper62

That one should be worth solely melt value. Its been harshly handled/cleaned and has lost its potential collectors value.

I'd pay the extra 50 cents or whatever for a pristine silver round

 Look for a more pristine example which you can probably find for less than $20 |

I would pass. A lot,of this same round go through a LCS. They sell them around $2.00 over spot. These are made just for silver bullion. That one should look like this. [url][ http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-A-Mark...IgNXnAx2/url] Edit ...taking a second look at that one .. I am not even sure it is authentic. There are a lot of fake silver rounds out there.

Based on condition and silver content, I would pay for only the silver content. Tops I would pay is $19.00. Anything more is a waste of money. I don't know if you want to buy 10oz of silver, but JM Bullion is offering a ten oz bar at spot price right now. Limit of one. http://www.jmbullion.com/starter-pa...E6gQodaZIKwQThis would be a better investment opportunity for you. |

You should satisfy yourself that the implied bullion silver value in them is what they proport to be, before making a decision to buy. If you are buying bullion silver in coin form, better to stick to ASE's, because everybody knows what they are, and are far easier to re sell. |

It's a piece of junk that is worth a lot less its melt value because it is corroded and not a regular U.S. Coin.
Some of these things are not always made of silver. Some of them are aluminum or white metal which corrodes far easier than silver. Beware.

I agree that you could find a much nicer example and bullion rounds are easy to find in pristine condition for just a little above spot.
Just make sure you are buying from a reputable seller. Not someone with a craigs list ad until you get real experienced in buying silver. Not saying this is the case with this round but just be careful where you buy from.
