Question by tcrobb1: How I do tell if my 1974-S proof brown box Ike $ is clad or silver?
I think as a kid I pd like in 1980. I wasn't aware that there were more than one version of the 74-S proof coin. I bought it at a coin show, so it wasn't like I was being swindled as the price was marked in an open display case. Are there any indicators to tell the difference between a silver version & the clad one? The silver one commands a high price (00?), the clad I can get on ebay for . So either I overpaid, the market stinks, or I bought a really good investment. Please help!

Answer by the cumshot kid
if it's clad it's not worth anything... it's like gold leaf except in silver and around the entire coin

The only advice I can give you on what to collect is to buy what you like. After a while, like all of us, you'll figure out for yourself what you like more than something else, and you'll focus on that one (or a few) things at a time. The reason is that none of us can afford to buy all of it, so we have to narrow it down. But it's different for all of us, what we like, so I can't tell you what to collect.

I can tell you, though, that you probably overpaid for a 2010 silver eagle graded MS-64. If you paid more than , you paid too much. You can buy single coins on eBay, including postage, for about that. Yes, yours is graded by PCGS. Whoever had it graded wasted their money. MS 64 for a brand new coin is basically a problem coin when you consider that huge numbers of them are coming out MS 69, and even perfect MS 70 are nowhere near rare anymore with the last few years of bullion eagles.

That's the only other thing I'll recommend. If you're going to buy slabbed modern coins, don't buy anything below MS 69 or Proof 69 DCAM.

Question by vanbadiwal: What is a one ounce proof silver bullion American Eagle worth? I have 1986 and 1987 coins.?

Best answer:

Answer by greg b
Silver is at 20.10 an ounce

The Silver eagle market is around 22$ for a regular date - so thats the bear minimum.

All silver eagles are uncirculated so quality is prob not an issue for you, if they are still in their original case from the mint they are probably ms 67- to ms 69.

Both of your coins are around -40.

Hold onto them, silver will probably increase even more as the economy slumps.

Question by Dewayne: Is buying Gold, Platinum or Silver American Eagle Proof coins (US Mint) a good investment?
I imagine this would depend of the how the price of gold, platinum or silver does in the marketplace, but would there also be a collectors' interest even if the prices of metals took a downturn?

Basic way of making money:

Buy low, sell high.

Look at the current cost of gold and silver and compare it to the last 50 years. Is it low right now? If you're buying "high" then it's not a good investment.

Question by Edward: what is the difference between Silver BU and Silver Proof? the technical specifications.?
I think BU stands for bullion? Silver Proof is more expensive than Silver BU. I think Proof (999) Silver is pure silver? Sterling Silver is 925 silver. Appreciate any inputs.

Best answer:

Answer by carbonates
BU is an abbreviation for 'bright uncirculated'. It is applied most often to coins struck for circulation that do not have special methods of striking or special handling.

Proof is a special method of striking a coin that may involve several blows from a specially prepared planchet. Proof coins are generally not circulated and are sold only to collectors. See:

http://www.pcgs.com/lingo.chtml?Letter=P

Since Bright Uncirculated and Proof refer to the method of striking the coin by the mint, they have nothing to do with the silver content. A proof coin can have any amount of silver, or none at all.

You will have to refer to the specifications on the specific coin to know the difference in silver content between a BU coin and a Proof of the same coin. It is not unusual for a coin to have a higher silver content for a Proof version than a circulating BU, but it is not always true.

Question by orchid4242: When will they release the 2009 silver american eagle proof?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
No date has been set yet. It depends on how busy the mint is. In 2009 we will have 4 different Lincoln cents in collector strikes as well as circulation strikes this will take up some time the first of the year so maybe by spring or early summer. You will just have to wait for the mint to say just when.
