Question by Connie: do 2009 west point american silver eagles have mint mark?

Best answer:

Answer by Kyoo Sook J
Yes, it is a capital 'w'. It should be on the Reverse on the bottom left of the Eagle, directly below the olive branch, above the letter 'e' of the word 'fine'

Its not on the front so don't bother looking there

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 power_house911: How do you get the paint off of silver eagles?
I personally do not like painted coins. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the paint or ink on Lady Liberty and the rising sun on the face of some silver eagles without damaging the coin? I think it's more of an ink because it has dots on it like it was done by a machine or computer, but it may be a mix of both. Anyone have any solutions?

Answer by jay marcus
Try fingernail polish remover, or maybe Acetone either one should desolve the paint or decal. Warning both are flameable so be careful around an open flame.

Question by Chi L: Are american silver eagles an ok investment?
Are american silver eagles an ok investment? I also like the idea of collecting coins so are there any old silver coins that wouldn't run too much above the spot price of silver?

Best answer:

Answer by BenGraham
The worst investment is anything Cash. Since the silver eagle coin is cash, it does not make for a good investment.

Question by Todd H: How can I aquire an empty green monstor box that the US Silver Eagles come in?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
If you are taking about the box that the mint sends to the people thy picked to sell the uncirculate ones, you will have to find one of them. The mint may help you on that for I don't think their names are a secret for I have seen them published from time to time. Try Answerman2@aol.com, he answers questions in his column in Numismatic News.Bet he has a source to find out for you.

Question by whose_really_american_anyway?: Who is a reputable company to purchase silver eagles from?
Is Monex.com legit?

So many companies online to buy from. Is there a way to know who is fraud?

Best answer:

Answer by ranger111a
The best, safest way to purchase coins: go to the bank you have your mortgage, loans, accounts with: make an appointment with you branch manager or asst. mngr. mr.
Specifically ask him or her with whom the bank secures their funds with. Believe it or not, banks have their own portfolios; many of these portfolios contain currency (including precious metal currency. Do not purchase online. Accountability is the key here. You want a name, a face, a paper trail.

When a corporation that relies strictly on online or telephone purchase goes belly up, it is very difficult to have that accountability. In spite of what you have heard, you local bank has a myriad of local (and that's the operational word) resources.

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.

Question by Chi L: Where to buy American Silver Eagles?
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 bboy244: How can I tell that the silver American Eagles I purchased on Ebay are real ? I am new to coin collecting.?

Best answer:

Answer by jay marcus
Acquire the book before the product. With the influx of counterfeit U.S. coins from CHINA the hobby is getting ruined, because our Government cannot stop these forgeries. Ebay is an open target for these coins (these coins do not have to be stamped COPIES). Again either buy the coin book or check your local library coin section. Weight's & sizes might be the only clue to a fake! Good Luck
