There were (and are) many private companies that mint silver and gold coins.
US Silver Corp (TSXV "USA", OTCQX -"USSIF" and DB Frankfurt "QE2") owns and operates the Galena Mine in the historic Silver Valley of North Idaho.
They mint these coins to get a premium dollar for their silver. The silver is worth $17.11 as I write this. If you are paying less then $18.00 an ounce for pure silver, that would be a fair price for private stamps.
