July 26, 2009 Yes. Today, silver is worth $13.87. Also today, the 1987 proof American Silver Eagle is valued from $30 to $5000 depending upon the actual condition of the coin. So, as you can see the proof coin is valued far more than the silver in it.

The value of .999 pure silver coins varies with the spot price of silver on the market. A one-ounce silver coin will always be worth, at a minimum, the spot price of silver. Depending on the condition of the coin and the market in general, it may be worth up to 100% more. Proof coins are worth more than the coins that are not circulated, which in turn are worth more than lower-grade coins that may have been handled or have scratches, dings, etc. With the spot price of silver approaching $35, a current check of asking prices for the 2003 American Eagle ranged from $40 for a specimen that is not circulated, to over $110 for a PR70-rated proof coin.
