The current price of silver is about $14/oz.
.999 fine or 99.9% pure
That depends on a lot of factors.... is it PURE silver? .999 fine? or is it sterling silver? 92 1/2% fine? or is it some sort of industrial silver? If it is "scrap" silver it would be worth far less than silver bullion or silver coins.
The coin is actually an American Silver Eagle bullion coin that is made from one ounce of .999 pure silver. It's value is tied to the spot price of silver at the time of sale, which is $28.19 today.
It is worth whatever 1 troy ounce of silver is worth. Today it is worth about $30, although the price of silver fluctuates.
