Just wondering, since I want to sell it soon. I have two of them in my possession and only need one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the "Sold Item" list from ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...H_Complete=1
Looks like between $10 and $15 is common for like condition coins as yours.

Thank you, Marve65. I've looked at different sources and the prices were all over the place.

Melt value is $13.68. I don't think that you would get much more than that.

I just saw that. Wonder how old those auctions on ebay were - guess I'll have to go back and look. Or else the S&H maybe came into play regarding the winning bid prices.

Thank you, Hondo Boguss. I figured I wouldn't get too much more over melt value for it.

In that condition it's a bullion coin now. There is no remaining numismatic premium.

You should expect whatever the local price is for bulk silver.

I have to agree, with silver at what it is, this is only worth melt.

Sorry I just saw this, I agree with the above, only worth melt. I recently sold off a bunch of walkers (below) and all I got was melt for them. Common date circulated silver coins lately with the price of silver have almost no premium.

Thank you, hfjacinto. I'll sell it at melt value. At least they're silver.
