Are silver coins more valuable as coins or as the value of the silver melted down?

What is 1972 Eisenhower silver dollar worth?

If your 1972 coin is a uncirculated example it may be worth about $5.00 because the 1971 & 1972 issue coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in those years. In general none of the circulated coins have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums. The Mint did offer Proof and Uncirculated coins in 1971-1976 that were struck in 40% silver.

How do you know if money is uncirculated?

"Uncirculated" simply means "never been spent and in change" so if you have a new coin or bill (banknote) from the bank or a cash machine, it's considered to be uncirculated. As soon as it's spent at a store or put in a vending machine it's been in circulation. Of course if you have to prove that an item is uncirculated, that's more difficult. There are companies that get coins and bills directly from banks and resell them, and both the Mint (coins) and BEP (bills) will sell you uncirculated examples of their products. Then you know they're truly never circulated, but you'll have to pay extra for that assurance.

They are not valuable, they are still in circulation and are worth 50 Pence. Newer coins only have some value if they are in mint uncirculated condition or, if they are Proof coins. Due to the extra work put into them and the metals they are made from, Proof coins are more expensive to buy in the first place.


Why are proof 1950 British coins worth less than uncirculated versions?

This is only the case for some 1950 British coins. Proof coins should be worth more simply due to the amount of work required to produce them. Proof coins are produced in a finite quantities for a given denomination and year. An "Uncirculated" coin is one that goes through the usual minting process, but is removed before it starts banging and scraping against other coins and developing the marks and scratches associated with circulated coins. Uncirculated coins are an unknown quantity after they leave the Mint since they can be so easily circulated and subsequently lose the grading of "Uncirculated". It is a matter of "supply and demand". Less "Uncirculated" coins for a given denomination (or year) are known to exist than Proof coins of the same denomination (or year), therefore the collector value of the "Uncirculated" coins is greater. The same apparent disparity of value occurs for many coins and years.
