<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 738557, member: 21603&quot;]First time poster, here.&nbsp; I recently bought about 100 silver eagles for an investment when the price crashed this spring.&nbsp; I&#039;ve kept most of them in the original cases of 20 that they come in.&nbsp; However, I&#039;ve also have taken a few of the coins out of the containers.&nbsp; I know that you aren&#039;t supposed to touch the 99% silver for it will tarnish.&nbsp; I&#039;ve put two of the eagles into sleeves and unfortunately, I&#039;ve touched the top of the coins, and they have tarnished a little bit black.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now my question.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve payed barely over spot for these silver eagles....$18 at the time of purchase.&nbsp; As I see silver is now about $17.60 an ounce, I was wondering about the sale &quot;value&quot; of my silver eagles.&nbsp; A tarnished silver eagle is still an ounce of silver, so I wouldn&#039;t accept anything less than 95% below spot.&nbsp; My question is, what value do the other silver eagles that are not tarnished go for?&nbsp; Does a person who bought these for a small premium get any of that premium back when they sell the coins if they are kept in good condition and not molested or tarnished.&nbsp; And if not, what incentive does that give collectors to not handle the coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
