ose are silver. Barring any additional value from a collector’s standpoint, you could buy those for approximately $42-$45 dollars today.

Go check the spot price for silver and call around to some pawn shops or gold/jewelry exchanges to see what they’re willing to pay per ounce and go to the highest bidder. Tell them you have some silver eagles. Fast money.


Without being graded more than likely a pawn shop is going to give you at most 50-60% of current silver price which is current ~$25. Market fluctuates and refineries don’t pay as much as gold.

Appears to be four silver rounds and a American Silver Eagle(ASE), which is considered a coin.

Rounds are made by private mints and have no currency value. Usually rounds have their weight on them. They are worth the spot price of silver which is ~$26/oz today. A good coin shop will pay you spot and sell it just above spot.

The ASE is actual currency but worth more today due to silver content. Due to being currency and produced by the US Mint, you can get over spot for them. If silver is ~$26 today, then you could flip that ASE for between $30-$37. The lower number to a reseller and the latter price to silver stacker/collector.

The Coin Shop in Denham Springs is a good coin shop. Chuck, the owner, is an honest and fair owner. He can give you more info on stuff like this.

Spot for silver is $26.25 per ounce. I doubt those are worth more than their silver content BUT bring them to a coin shop.

Are you talking about the 2014 Silver Eagle?

Looks real to me. Check Apmex.com for value.

Not saying those are fake but you need to be real careful buying silver coins now. Especially sealed coins. Fake ones are showing up all over flea markets in North Alabama. Policeman showed me a fake silver Eagle the other day that I would have sworn was real.
