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.

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?

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: Best place 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?

They're a bad investment. I'd rethink your purchase unless you just like collecting coins which I find to be a wasteful hobby to begin with.

Question by Bobby: Why shouldn't I clean my coins? What will happen if I do or don't clean them? My Silver Eagles are tarnished!?
I have 10 American Silver Eagle coins from the years 2000-2005 and they all have varying degrees or tarnish on them. Some of them are perfect on the "face", but the back side is black!! I KNOW EVERYONE SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T CLEAN COINS, but I would like a more detailed explanation as to why I shouldn't remove the tarnish.

1) Why shouldn't I just clean them? I was thinking some tarnish remover would do the job, just a dip in some.

2) If I continue to let them tarnish, will they always look black and oddly colored, or will they go back to looking normal over time?

3) This is the most important question I have: How can I keep any new coins I add to my collection from tarnishing and/or oxidizing? Will air tight holders do the job?

I'm not asking to be a smartbleep, I just want answers! Detailed answers! Thanks for helping, should you choose to.

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 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.

Best answer:

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 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.
