American Silver Dollar Eagle

I bought the coin off ebay but it did not come with a presentation case,and the mint doesn't seem to offer those for sale separately. If I can't get an official case, what are my alternatives? This is for my second son, and I'd really like them both to have the same type of case.

You could do a search for numismatic supplies. One site that has a lot of supplies is Amos Advantage. Maybe you could buy two boxes from the same source that way they would both be the same.

Happy hunting

A 2011 American Silver Eagle Dollar up close.

Value of it?? And how much can I get for it??

You could probably sell it for $14-$15 at a coin shop.

Year: 1997
Condition: Mint, uncirculated

The Silver value is based on the current Silver Price, which is currently somewhere between $10 and $11 per troy ounce, however the collector's value of the coin may be worth much more. One of the best resources to find estimated values of any world coin is the Standard Catalog of World Coins. It is an excellent resource for information on coins.

Someone offered me $22 for a proof 1986 American Eagle silver dollar that I own, mint in velvet box with certificate of authenticity. I've been doing my home work on this and they usually sell for around that price, I think it's fair. What I'm wondering is, is it worth selling now for $22 or would it increase in value as time goes on?

For that matter, does any one know if the same applies for an 1883 Morgan Dollar?

Thanks!

In proof, book value for a 1986 Silver Eagle is $45. Now if you are selling one to a dealer you will never get $45 and if you are buying one you will probably pay a bit less than that. Generally these do increase in value over time, but except for certain rare issues, coins in general are a bad investment compaired to the stock market (ironic right now, but true!) The worst you will ever do with these is slightly less than bullion value, they are in fact bullion. Silver is currently a bit under $10 an ounce. If you want the money, go ahead and sell, but if you really don't want to sell you probably will come out a bit ahead in the long run by holding it. Morgans tend to trend upward, I would think a bit better than Silver Eagles. 1883 is not a very rare year (unless you have it in proof) but they are not making more of these.

Yes, but the Silver content makes it worth much more than $1.
Here is a site that will give you some idea of what the coin is worth:
