Hello All, A friend gave me this 1999 Silver Dollar (bullion?). I know it's not valuable beyond its 1 oz. silver worth. But my curiosity is about the odd staining on both the front and back (see reverse photo). Is that mold? A chemical? Moisture? Also, does it take away from the basic silver value? It is in a sealed capsule. Thanks.
Nice fingerprint on it.... looks like someone spilled something on it. It's worth silver melt. You may be able to get rid of that stuff by giving it a dip in pure acetone. Not sure though if the fingerprints have etched into the surface of the coin.
someone had silver eagles and milk for a snack until it broke there teeth could you get a picture of the obverse.
Not even close to $50. Silver melt is like $26 right now. I highly doubt OP could sell it for more than melt. Especially with the stains.
Well if op puts it up on ebay it will sell that high people don't care about all that stuff on it they just want silver i haven't seen any 1oz silver sell for under $30 in the past 5 days the only ones that are selling for bellow $30 are 1/2 ounce coins and bars
https://bullionexchanges.com/learn/removing-milk-spots-from-silver-coins Interesting article on conserving fingerprints/milk spots on silver. CAUTION: Before everyone has their front lobes explode, I do NOT condone cleaning those key-date and/or expensive coins w/numismatic value (in addition to the current melt values). I do this with my non-Mint issued silver rounds & tokens. Do so at your own risk.
It's silver so it's worth melt value. That's around $25.00 I think. Silver price is changing constantly.
