Most are just worth the silver value but some have a change in the lettering on the reverse and sell for higher prices. Take it to a dealer to be sure.
If you're referring to a large coin that's really made of silver, its value depends on the price of silver at the current time. Silver has been in the $10-$11/oz range in late 2008 but can and does change a lot. If you have a small gold-colored coin it's not silver obviously, and it's not gold either. It's an ordinary circulating brass $1 coin worth exactly one dollar.
It is worth one-tenth of a US dollar, or otherwise known as ten cents.
They're both worth $1. But you could get A LOT more with it in 1963, than in 2008.
At current conversion rates (31 July 2016), a ten dollar Jamaican coin is worth 8 cents.
The last U.S. silver dollars were struck in 1935 so you cannot have a dollar coin. Please take the time to look at the coin's back, I'm sure it says HALF DOLLAR right by the bottom rim. If that's what you have its value as of 07/2008 is in the $7-8 range for a coin in average condition.
There is a Silver Eagle, which is a bullion coin worth almost $20 at the current silver price, with a face value of $1.
As of 15 January 2014, it's worth $20.
A 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar in fine condition (F12) is worth: $23.00. In a mint state of MS60, the value rises to: $40.00
It's worth about $17.00 as of today
because it is a newer and probably better version
Value depends on which of the three 2008 dated dollar coins it is? Presidential, Sacagawea or Silver Eagle. Post new Question.
You probably have one of the bullion coins issued in recent years by the Mint. The "dollar" denomination is purely arbitrary; they're intended to be sold for their precious metal value and not be spent. Their value is tied to the current market price of silver so it would be worth about $17 or $18 as of June 2008.
5-10-11>> The coin is ounce of pure silver and the value is tied to the spot price of silver at time of sale and it varies, as I type this, the coin is worth $38.22
You need to be a bit more specific.There are no US government issued silver certificates made since the suspension of the silver standard in 1964.There may be private mints and storage companies that do provide silver certificates (for example, you place one silver dollar in storage and they give you a certificate that promises to pay one silver dollar to whoever redeems that certificate in the future. These certificates, if valid, would be worth what one silver dollar is worth (minus perhaps the fees to actually obtain physical possession of that silver dollar)Or perhaps you are referring to a certificate of authenticity for a 2008 silver eagle. If this is just a certificate of authenticity for a 2008 dated coin, it is nearly worthless without the coin. With the coin it might add a couple of cents to a dollar to its value, but just the piece of paper itself would be worth about 2-3 cents.
As of 07/2008, about $16-20 depending on how worn it is. The lack of a mint mark indicates it was struck in Philadelphia.
It is made of 40% silver and has a melt value of about $2.50 as of 08/2008
Fair market value as of 12/2008 is $9.
