<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 770216, member: 19065"]the denomination on the coin is less than the value of the precious metal on the market. a USD $1 American Silver Eagle is legal tender, worth one dollar but contains one troy ounce of .999 silver currently about $17.51/oz. ask, and most bullion dealers add on a premium to sell them for profit, so it costs more. I think it's the simple explanation you are asking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
