Silver coin collectors?

I would pay more than spot plus 2-3% for the Eagles.
I am a Gold, Silver and precious metals buyer. There's not many coin dealers, jewelry stores or pawn shops that pay more than Spot less at least 10%.

If you're not hard up for cash, hang on to the Silver, it will go up and pass the $50 USD high it saw in 1980.
 
Go to a bookstore, (Barnes and Noble) and buy a copy of R.S. Yeoman's guide to U.S. coins. It's also known as, "The Official Red Book".

When do you think that will happen? All its ever done is lose money since it blew up and made a few dollars in aug 2020. Investing in cars and rvs is more lucrative. Im holding quite a bit since 2007-2008 time frame and hope i can figure out a way to get out from under it in the next 20yrs- but im not too optomistic. I do like the 1/10oz gold coins tho. They are gold and are fairly cheap so theyre easier to deal with than a 1oz coin.
 
While I’ve never collected silver dollars, I do know a plain 1928 (no mint mark) is fairly rare. Under 200k if I remember correctly. As mentioned above condition is the key.

If I knew I wouldn't tell ;) I'd just keep buying like I have since the mid 70's.

RV's and cars are not investments...

If you bought gold in 07-08 it had doubled, silver not so much, but silver is due, nothing electronic is made without silver.

If you sell on eBay it's the best place for everyday folks to make a few bucks with gram bars and $5 gold 1/10 coins bringing $30-$40 over spot.
 
I have a coffee can full of silver coins that my mom had put aside from her restaurant business in the early 50's. Very few silver dollars but plenty of silver, dimes, quarters and Ben Franklin .50 coins.
I keep telling myself that someday I am going to do the research and get a baseline of what they are worth. Probably need a "Round-To-It" to get this done.

2007-2008 ? Your just a beginner.
 
Take the real silver ones to a coin dealer. Some are worth money others are worth their weight. From past experience, selling silver and all the fees involved makes you realize metals are just a pain in the ass. Let us know how it turns out.
Well........until the gold you bought for $400 goes up to $1700/ounce.

And, in a worst-case scenario, the 1/10th oz coins are more tradable for goods vs. a 1 oz gold coin. Can't really saw it up for smaller value trades.
 
When I started collecting silver coins an old coin collector told me, 'Son, don't use your good money collecting anything you can't take to the grocery store and buy food with"!
 
I would pay more than spot plus 2-3% for the Eagles.
Why? That is their value. The coins will be separated into two categories, one with collectible value, and the other for the metal value. If a coin doesn’t have any collectible value, why would you be willing to overpay for it???
 
I like having some silver (or gold) in my possession. I realize that it is not usually much of an "earner" compared to other investments, but I look at it as insurance in the event of a total dollar collapse. Much like any other tangible assets that could be traded, or used to pay for goods when our dollar has become worthless. I believe that some of the financial gurus that I sometimes listen to recommend that 10% of your wealth should be comprised of precious metals.

I'm just enough of a "doomsdayer" to envision the possibility that a US dollar could possibly become as worthless as the paper it's printed on. This would not be anything new in the history of our world. jd

Do you have any Silver Eagles to sell?
 
If a person had some for sale what could they expect to get for their silver eagles with a $23 spot price?
ASE's, American Silver Eagles, command a significant sell price over spot.
