    Well, as of today, the Walkers have a melt value of $6.68 each. Well circulated common dates normally sell for slightly less.

    You might try coinflation.com to check the values daily. With silver as high as it is.....prices change pretty quickly.

    I have a guy with 30 walking libs and 2 10th ounce gold eagles. I'm trying to put together a price to offer him.

    To find out the melt value of silver coins, try:

    http://www.coinflation.com

    Right now, the sort of coins described by the original poster probably have more metal than numismatic value, as all the respondents have observed. But the way the market actually works is like this:

    --Check out the melt value of a dime. Right now, it's about $1.33, right? (i.e., 1/5 of the melt value of each Walker).
    --10% of that is $0.13.
    --Subtract the 10% from the melt value, and you get $1.20, or 12X the face value of the dime.

    That's how a wholesale dealer buys 90% silver coins that have no additional numismatic value, i.e., at some multiple of face value. Usually these multiples are integral (i.e., whole numbers like 5X face or 7X face or currently, 12X face), but depending on market conditions, the multiplier can be fractional, but never less than half. I.e., the dealer could offer "five and half times face," or 7.5X face or 12.5 face.

    Unless you sell the coins directly to the end customer, on EBay for example, you cannot get full melt. You have to "leave enough in the deal" for the middleman.

    Was this explanation clear, and did it help?
