If you are working on a student project you need to know more about the coin before proceeding. Is it a bullion coin, like one of the "eagle dollars" sold by the U.S. Mint? Is it some other kind of coin? Is it from a different country? Then you'll need to look up historical values. Assuming you have a bullion coin you could look up how its value is related to the price of silver, then go to a financial site and find charts giving the historical prices of silver over the last 20 years.
PCGS stands for Professional Coin Grading Service, one of the most popular commercial services that grades coins. See www.pgcs.com for more info.
Call a coin professional , because if you get a coin value book even though that say there up to date there not. The value of silver has dropped about $10.00 over the past 6 month , so there's no way a book can have up to date info.
this coin has .357 ounces of silver. (half of the metal used in the coin is silver) The original asking price of this commemorative dollar in 1980 was $22, unfortunately you won't get more than that out of it today as long as silver stays at the price it is at. Some more info: only 389,564 of these coins were minted, so it is rare. This coin, soon enough, will catch on as a nice collectors item because of it's rarity. hang on to it.
It is a bullion coin and the value of most of them is tied to the market value of silver.
Your coin in questions is commonly referred to as a Silver Eagle. At a minimum it will always be worth current value of one ounce of silver. Numismatically it is worth approximately $16.00 Hope this helps. Mgirard
Those coins likely are never going to be worth more than their weight in silver...2 troy ounces... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+much+is+2+troy+ounces+of+silver+worth
The actually people who made that coin have that info on their website at http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/learn/circulation-currency-1100028Thanks!
Circulating pennies were struck in silver until 1781, when silver increased in price and had to be replaced with copper. Silver pennies continue to be struck as part of special sets called "Maundy Money" (Google it for more info) but they do not circulate. I checked a guide for Maundy sets and a 1919 silver 1d coin would retail at about $40.
