Best Answer

It depends on what you mean by "older" and whether the coin you have is really an Eagle coin or an actual silver dollar. Eagle coins were issued starting in the 1980s and contain 1 ounce of silver. Silver dollars were minted up till 1935, but some people confuse them with eagles because they're similar in size.

Please determine which you have and post a new and more specific question.

What is the going price for silver money?

There's no simple answer because value of a silver coin depends on several factors, for example:What is the percentage of silver versus copper or other metals in the coin?What denomination is it?Is it worth more as a collectible or as scrap metal?What country is it from?How worn is it?The scrap value of US coins, for example, is based on their denominations. A common-date silver dollar is worth about 3/4 of the current price of 1 oz of silver, a half dollar is worth about 1/3, a quarter about 1/6 and a dime about 1/15. However many older-date silver coins (before the 1930s) can be worth more, sometimes a lot more, as collectibles.


What is the worth of a 1950 five dollar bill that says will pay to the bearer on demand?

Are silver certificates worth anything more than one dollar?

Generally yes, but it depends very much on their dates. Bills from the final series (dated 1957) are so common among collectors that even half a century later they're only worth $1.50 or so in average condition. Older silver certificates' values vary widely, so at a minimum a date and series letter are needed to estimate a value.

Older $1 coins that were intended for use in ordinary commerce are sometimes mistakenly called "eagle dollars" by people who aren't familiar with the two types of coins. They weighed 26.7 gm and were made of 90% silver so they contain about 24 gm of pure silver.
