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.

Why shouldn’T I Clean My Coins? What Will Happen if I Do or don’T Clean Them? My Silver Eagles Are Tarnished!?

silver_monster — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 08:48:10 +0000

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.

GreenPeace Coins? Anybody Know Anything About Them?

Question by jrddecker: GreenPeace Coins? Anybody know anything about them?
I have a set of Five GreenPeace coins. They are in a green holder the says greenpeace on the cover. Come with a little booklet about the animals featured on the coins. The coins them self are in execellent condition. About the size and weight on a silver dollar. Silver in color, I don't know if they are real silver or plated? They all have the GreenPeace symbol with the peace sign on one side. And the of side show a different animal or design on the other. A Bald Eagle, Harp Seals, Timber Wolves, Sperm Whales, and a Sisiutl. They say "GreenPeace 1979" on the top and on the bottom it says, "Currency Value One Dollar Expires April 30, 1979" I can't find anything about these. I have had them for years. I checked on ebay the see it anyone had tried to auction any off, and no one has in the last six months. I get nothing off of google. Anyone know where I can find info on these?

I will not be much help but they are actually medals. They fall into the category of local trade dollars. There are more Canada than here in the states but when a city or town has a special event say a 100th anniversary they produce trade coins that are good for a certain amount for a specific time. Greenpeace was big in the 1970-1980's for pulling stunts that got them in trouble with the powers to be. I am not surprised such an item exists. they would have used the money from sales to help their cause. I don't have their web site handy but google the token and medal society maybe they can help. I would say the medals are usually made of copper-nickel to look like silver. You can also google token and medal dealers , one of them may know. Hope this helps.
