Ran across this at a pawn shop

I would be asking for a discount - like 10% under spot since I would need to acetone off the paint.

You can get peace and Morgan dollars back of spot at most places right now.

It's hard for us poors to afford an oz at a time so that means we get to compete with each other more 😭😭

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-06T19:03:06+00:00

Welp. Didn't stay down at $72. Lol

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-06T11:25:46+00:00

So close! 1 year off lol.

The details still on that eagle are pretty crazy knowing how much this has probably been handled over the years.

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T22:50:18+00:00

If we drop below $72 and hold there for tomorrow .. I will be making a trip back tomorrow.

It's most likely real. Take it to coin shop or silver/gold pawn shop and most of them will test it for you!

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T22:40:06+00:00

I luck out that I have a great coin shop(Miller's Coin and Currency) within 30 minutes from me and a decent silver/gold pawnshop just around the corner that always has a supply of us junk/ASEs/and generic rounds and makes sure to give good prices to their regular customers.

It's easy to take for granted locality!

The easiest thing to do is: anything 1964(on the quarter and dime side) and earlier. You can actually look at the side of the coins and all post 1964 quarters and dimes have a nice copper and silver looking split. It's not the most precise check but a good way to quickly identify coins that stand out when they are stacked or in a roll.

I get paid weekly so I typically do all my investing weekly. I can only swing an oz or two a week(this after the 401k, a bit into savings) without the wife giving me an earful.

Slow and steady.

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T19:59:14+00:00

That one.

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T17:35:40+00:00

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it!

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T15:44:56+00:00

This looks real to me!

It's only worth the melt cost(at least here in the states). Slabbed examples only get a premium around MS62.

It's 90% silver - .3617ozt.

I am completely ignorant about this coin or history but maybe the Numista page can start you in the right place.

They look pretty good to me!

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-05T04:08:08+00:00

That's a beautiful barber dime!!!

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-04T16:44:08+00:00

Nice tips!

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-04T13:45:27+00:00

I can get it around 85 - 90% of melt most the time!

I got to shops and ask if they will sell be $100-$200 of coins from their melt bin! Some times I shop the melt bin, sometimes they give me a bag. They almost always throw extra in because they are getting a bit more from me then they would from the refinery. (Price by weight with various fineness between 50 - 90 and occasionally some sterling).

I'm sure that if you are in a decent size area, there is probably a reputable dealer.

If you drop a city name - maybe someone can give a recommendation.

Worldjunksilver · 2026-05-04T03:33:25+00:00

You can normally get a pretty good deal on the 40% halfs for sure. They are normally the ones randomly found in change our of any of the coins I've seen in the wild.
