I have a 2 gram one sided silver token with an eagle on the front that sais silver issue 2 gr fine silver .999 1776 with a serial code at the bottom, b528178 that could be what you have. i asked a dealer about it and he told me that they were minted by a private mint in the 1970s or 80s as silver investment pieces for around either $15 or $50 dollars, I cant remember which. I'm not sure what one would be worth now but it is worth at least its silver content and a dealer or collector could probably give you more.

Is there a genuine 1865 Washington silver dollar?
No. All silver dollars struck in 1865 bear the Seated Liberty type. None were struck with Washington on them. What you have is either a contemporary token, or a modern fantasy piece. Your coin may not even be silver.More detailsThese are modern fakes made by the bucket-load in both the Middle East and Far East. They're not silver, not from 1865, and not genuine.
What eisenhower silver dollars are 40 percent silver?
Some Eisenhower Dollars were struck in 40% silver to be sold to collectors. All of these coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint, with dates 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. These coins were either uncirculated or proof. Uncirculated coins came in cellophane with a blue plastic token in a blue envelope. Proof issues came in a proof set-like plastic case, contained in a brown "wood grain finish" box with a gold seal on the back. The uncirculated coins are referred to as 'Blue Ike's' and the proofs as 'Brown Ike's. From 1973 to 1977 are the only years that the coins were included in the standard proof and uncirculated coin sets sold from the Mint, but these coins are NOT 40% silver. Special Bicentennial coin sets did have 40% silver coins.
What is the value of a 1776 US silver dollar?
The first U.S. dollar was issued in 1794 so there can't be a 1776 silver dollar.If you have a large (38.1 mm) coin with a picture of President Eisenhower on the front, it's a dual date (1776-1976) Bicentennial commemorative. (After all, Ike was born in 1890 so there's no way his picture could be on a real 1776 coin!) If you have a Bicentennial coin please see the related question.The other possibility is that you have a privately-minted medal, token, or fantasy piece. Unless it contains silver, these have little collector value.The first US silver dollar was struck in 1794 not 1776 but if you mean a dual date 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar the coin has face value only.

What is the value of a 1776 Silver issue 2 gr fine silver 999 8528178?
I also have on that is part of a necklace that reads "Silver issue 2Gr fine silver .999" 1776 and has the numbers 8528178I found a little bit of info on it- eBay has a few for sale going for between $13-$20.http://users.pullman.com/fjstevens/tokens/tokens/8596.HTML ^ this website gave me the most information.It says:"Quite a few people have written me that they have one of these, but nobody knows anything about them! The scan is a bit hard to read, but the number on mine is 8528178Kevin writes: I have one of these tokens, I purchased it at an estate sale. 7618090 is the number on mine as well. mine is set in a neckalace bezel. Grant writes: I have one but mine is very different. The eagle or hawk? Is facing the other way. and all the writing on mine is in different places. And the number on it is 7618090. Steve writes: When I graduated college in 1970, my brother gave me a money clip which I still carry. As you might guess, it is quite worn, and has been resoldered numerous times. The decoration on the clip is a soft metal (could be silver ?) bezel into which has been set a token like the one you mention in your site. The bezel setting has protected the token fairly well during the almost 40 years of constant use. On mine, the eagle faces his right, over the number 7618090, and reads 2 grams of .999 fine silver. Also, reads Braemoor since 1873. At the time, I think this was a fairly expensive piece of Men's "tuxedo" jewelry, and was probably priced about $40 or $50. That doesn't sound like much now, but keep in mind that the average yearly salary in 1970 was about $10,000. I don't know what, if anything is on the reverse of the coin. Billy writes: I have one similar that is mounted in a circular brass holder. Mine differs in that the eagle faces the opposite direction and at the bottom it reads "Braemoor since 1873". Kathy writes: I have the same coin but my number is 8528179. Angela writes: my token is a different # then the one you have posted and on the opposite side of the 1776 the word President is under a star. And the token is set in a key chain. The # on mine is 7417067. Someone wrote to me: I have found a trinket money clip on the internet that has this token attached to it.... heres a link to the online store selling the clips..... http://pages.tias.com/7353/PictPage/1921697984.HTML (I sent a note to the web page, but didn't get any reply) Simon found a coin like this (same number) about 1990, so they are at least that old."I have a feeling you'll have to get it appraised by a jeweler or a collector to know the real value. That's really all I could find.UPDATE: AllExperts.com had this bit- "Coin Collecting - 2Gr fine silver 1776 withan eagel on the front of it Expert: Dan Moore - 6/30/2006Question the coin i have my uncle gave it to my dad in a money clip that is goldAnswer Hi Alexis, This is a bicentennial item that was actually made around 1976. 2 Gr fine silver is a very small amount -- perhaps 65 cents worth.

How much silver is in a Las Vegas ten dollar token?
There is no silver in any dollar tokens. They are iron with chrome plating. Silver "Ike" dollars were used in the past for casino play, now just tokens are used, because they are not legal tender except in the casino that issues them, for gambling purposes only. ======================================= There is no iron in these tokens. The question was about a $10.00 token, which usually is a "limited edition", encased in clear plastic, and does contain slightly less than 0.6 troy oz of pure silver. The remainder is brass - only the center is silver. They are usually marked: ".999 fine silver" - which is correct for the center portion. When silver was bringing a high price a couple of months ago, many people with these tokens punched out the silver. A few even tried to sell the remaining worthless brass doughnuts on eBay. The tokens are not worth much more than face value, if that.

Due to the steep rise in the price of silver around the end of World War 1, the issue of standard 92.5% sterling silver coins was discontinued in 1919/1920 and coins of 50% silver were minted instead. In 1947, silver was needed to repay the bullion lent by the USA during the World War 2 years, so silver coins were replaced with coins of the same weight and type made of cupro-nickel from 1947 onwards. Silver Threepences were discontinued completely in 1942 and replaced with the 12 sided nickel-brass Threepence.
