You are aware that some coins are made of silver, some are partially silver, some are silver plated, some have no silver in them at all. The amount of different metals is listed in The Red Book for instance. Also note that the price of all metals fluctuates almost daily. Try to be more specific as to what year and type of coins you are refering to.   02-18-2006, 11:14 PM   #5 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 Quote: Originally Posted by Just Carl You are aware that some coins are made of silver, some are partially silver, [/I]some are silver plated[I], some have no silver in them at all. Oh, which ones are those? I agree with Burks' implied assumption that Linda was asking about pre-1965 coins, which is clearly what his answer relates to. __________________ Roy   02-20-2006, 12:01 PM   #6 (permalink) Burks Senior Member   Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Toledo, OH Posts: 270 Quote: Originally Posted by satootoko I agree with Burks' implied assumption that Linda was asking about pre-1965 coins, which is clearly what his answer relates to. I know she has a bunch of pre-1965 coins, I've bought enough off of her   02-20-2006, 03:30 PM   #7 (permalink) 09S-V.D.B Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Atlanta Posts: 899 Quote: Originally Posted by Just Carl some are silver plated, Quote: Originally Posted by satootoko Oh, which ones are those?

Each time I purchase a few silver coins (for the silver value only) I get different quotes. How do I figure out what the average price is based on current silver prices?   02-20-2006, 04:47 PM   #10 (permalink) Charlie32 Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Edmond OK Posts: 1,176 Quote: Originally Posted by ra1der What are clad half dollars, please?

Thanks for responding.   02-21-2006, 12:58 PM   #13 (permalink) Pie Junior Member   Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 15 What about 40% silver coins?   02-21-2006, 02:43 PM   #14 (permalink) satootoko Retired   Join Date: Mar 2004 Posts: 5,822 Quote: Originally Posted by Pie What about 40% silver coins?

I agree with the 4/9 thing, but are you certain that you did your math correctly? They should be worth about $1.20 (based on what i sold mine for recently). __________________ "From time to time the Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and of Tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
