<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Felonious Monk, post: 968678, member: 26707&quot;]Actually the SPOT price as of mid day on the NSE was $18.25 making the intrinsic (silver content) value of the Morgans $18.25+/-&nbsp; and the same for BOTH of the 1/2 dollars combined.&nbsp; The prices I quoted on the Morgans was based on an average uncirculated condition not a mint condition coin. Ltrain is right about the Kennedys being worth more INTRINSICALLY but I&#039;m sure that MICO was asking about the collectors value which unfortunately does NOT fluctuate with the rise or fall in SPOT prices of the silver content. The way that they came up with the different monetary values of the coins was that a quarter was 1/4 ounce of silver, 1/2 dollars were 1/2 ounce etc... Can you imagine that in the late 1800&#039;s to early 1900&#039;s that gold was $20/ounce!? The $20 double eagle contains 90% fine gold, with a net weight of .9675 ounces (nearly an ounce)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of pure gold![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
