Hi! I'm know this is a very basic question but I really know nothing about silver bars. I have 12 silver bars. All but one are from the Hamilton Mint. On the front are images of a cowboy, horseless carriage, etc. They all say 1 Troy ounce of silver., .999. If I wanted to sell these, are they just worth the price of the silver or do the images, or where they were minted have some worth? Thanks for any advice. Traci
Depends... If you sell them to most people on here or to a Bullion dealer you'll prolly only get what their worth because of their Silver weight... However, if you sell them on E-bay, maybe a coin show or someother place and you find ""Silver Art Bar" collector you "Could" get more for them...
I agree 100% with what smullen said. Most Hamilton Mint silver art bars are not rare at all. Most of the Hamilton Mint silver art bars that I have seen have a mintage of 10,000 per bar.
I also want to add that a lot of the Hamilton Mint silver art bars that I have seen sell on ebay will get a winning bids that range between $3 to $8 over spot silver. You also have to keep in mind that ebay and paypal fees will play a factor in how much you end up getting for those bars.
That answers my questions so I thank you for you advice! Will probably sell on ebay eventually. I have yet to go to my first coin show which I really want to do soon! Thanks!
