I thought the highest silver ever got was around $50? And there's about 3/4 of an ounce of silver in a silver dollar. (77%)
If you mean a black beauty then no. The black beauties were improperly annealed. The planchets were over cooked so they look black. When they go...

Necro thread but still a relevant topic and worthy of resurrection. (I think there is a similar newer topic in the pool.) I think half cents. All...
