Question by Mr.Ed: Where do dealers get a Green Monster Box of Silver American Eagles from?
From the mint?? Could someone give me the info, or post a link. thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
The mint requires that the dealers who buy there uncirculated silver eagles, not the proofs or the ones now with satin finishes, to buy so much at a time and so much per year. They are basically bullion dealers. Your local coin dealer may know of one, or may not, for they do not buy that many and may get them from even someone else. The reason the value of the silver eagles are so much more than the silver in them is there are too many middlemen. You can try the mint they may give you a name or all of them, there is no secret but most people don't care, for they can not afford a case of eagles. You can also try answerman2@aol.com he answers questions for the magazine Numismatic News a weekly.

Question by Barkley Hound: How can I keep track of the current value of Gold/Silver American Eagles?
Most web sites that track American Eagle prices give the selling price. To keep track of my investment I need to know the buying price. The price I could get if the coins were sold. Is there a site that gives updated daily prices for both buy and sell?
I will probably just stay with the bid/ask price of gold and silver and not worry about the coin premium.

Answer by Daniel S
its hard to say. since there are so few gold coins actually circulating it is hard to put a price tag on them because you could get some VERY different prices depending on who buys. If you sell to a pawn shop or some site like cash4gold.com you are going to get pennies on the dollar in terms of worth but if you sell to someone who doesn't really understand what he's buying you could get spot price or higher for them. So its impossible to get a perfect fair value.

its been a while since I have dealt with these, the following assumes that they are one ounce coins and sell new for aprox over spot.
that said a reasonable estimate might be to take the current gold spot price which you can find at http://kitco.com/market/ subtract 2.5% (if you are optimistic) 5% if you are pessimistic and multiply by the number of coins you have.

Question by Beachboy: What is the best year to purchase a American Silver Eagle?
Lately I have been very interested in investing in silver. Gold seems like its way to pricey for just one ounce, but silver seems like its perfect, especially for the "average joe." Although, I am not completely sure what the difference between bullion silver and numismatic silver. I purchased a very pristine looking 1883-0 Morgan Silver dollar the other day. Doing my research I believe this would fit into the category of a numismatic coin due to how it looks, when it was made and i'm sure of a whole lot of other stuff. Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure it has 90% silver as well. Now if I want to be an investor in silver, would buying an American Silver Eagle, or other silver coins be best because they contain 99.9993% silver? I would think so, what do you think??

For a new silver investor, what would be specific silver that I could invest in without having to worry if it would ever be seized like what happened with fort knox??

Also, if buying coins like an American Silver Eagle, what would be the best year to purchase it at?

As much info you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer by Scott Stevenson
You are absolutely right--the Morgan dollar (and essentially all our silver coins made before 1965) is 90% silver.

If you're looking to buy ASE's just for their silver value, then you'd want to stay away from the proofs, which are prettier, but carry a premium, and a couple of years that have a numismatic premium on them. I've got a link at the bottom that should take you to a page by PCGS that shows the expected prices for coins that they've certified. Since silver is about .50/ounce today, you'd want ones that are around to bucks, which allows for the dealer to make a little profit. Anything more than that, and you're no longer buying for just the silver.

An alternative to buying ASE's would be to look at "junk silver"; pre-1965 silver coins that don't have any numismatic premium attached to them. You typically buy them by face value, and figure about .75 ounces of silver per dollar face value. Once nice thing is that while they don't have any numismatic value, you often get an interesting mix of coins, maybe even some of the Barber coinage from the turn of the 20th century. If you're worried about confiscation, you can always buy a couple of folders, and make it look like a coin collection.

Question by DavidFL: Why do American Silver Eagles say on them, yet an ounce of silver is always more than ?

Best answer:

Answer by diogenese19348
The Silver Eagles are worth a dollar legal tender. Of course, anybody using them that way is an idiot for obvious reasons.

The Silver Eagle is the same size and weight as the Morgan and Peace dollars, and they are legal tender also. You don't see anybody spending them as money either.

Best answer:

The bars are just bulk silver. What they look like doesn't matter. The coins have a higher manufacturing cost.

Question by Shanizzel: Are silver american eagle coins good as an investment?
I'm not talking about investing hundreds of dollars on them. What I am saying is, you hear a lot of people saying a today isn't going to be worth as much later right? Well if I were to purchase a Silver American Eagle coin this year, would the or so dollars spent on it be better served that way or just being saved at home.

They could be worth millions 25 to 30 years down the line....

Where is the best place to buy five to ten American Silver Eagles? Can you buy them from a local bank or is the best place something like a coin shop?

Best answer:

Answer by ?BobB?
Any coin shop will have them.

Banks do not sell them because they are not currency, they are bullion.

Question by vanbadiwal: What is a one ounce proof silver bullion American Eagle worth? I have 1986 and 1987 coins.?

Best answer:

Answer by greg b
Silver is at 20.10 an ounce

The Silver eagle market is around 22$ for a regular date - so thats the bear minimum.

All silver eagles are uncirculated so quality is prob not an issue for you, if they are still in their original case from the mint they are probably ms 67- to ms 69.

Both of your coins are around -40.

Hold onto them, silver will probably increase even more as the economy slumps.
