Yes, silver is near record highs and in silver content alone a dime is worth close to $2, quarters close to $4.75 and half dollars close to $10. Of course, US proof sets are worth more to a collector than just the bullion value of the coins. But yes, silver proofs are worth much more than non-silver or 'clad' proof sets and proof sets are nearly always worth more than an uncirculated set of the same year.
The 1928 Philadelphia issue is the lowest mintage of the series except for the 1922 Matt Proof coin. That's why it is worth more.
July 26, 2009 Yes. Today, silver is worth $13.87. Also today, the 1987 proof American Silver Eagle is valued from $30 to $5000 depending upon the actual condition of the coin. So, as you can see the proof coin is valued far more than the silver in it.
yes
HI IN Simple terms, 99.9% (just like some coins), of the time, a PROOF coin will normally be worth MORE than a MS70 of the same year. The exception can be if you have an MS70 (or 69) coin that has no proof coins for that year, and so, is extremely rare just by itself. PROOF coins are usually worth more, because they are untouched by human hands. An MS 65 or better coin, could be a coin that is culled from uncirculated coins, but has one really slight flaw.
One coin may be proof and the other uncirculated or it may be a higher grade.
One coin may be proof and the other uncirculated or it may be a higher grade.
Unfortunately, that is not silver, even though it is silver colored, and it is worth $1 if it is an ordinary circulated coin. Uncirculated, they are about $1.30. There ARE silver proof versions that are worth more, depending on condition and mint marks. But they are still pretty neat coins.
In general none of the coins made for circulation have any silver and are not worth 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.
By the 1977 date, the coin is a Eisenhower dollar and none of them made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
It is possible, but it depends on which set your coin was in. If your coin is in a standard proof set, it contains no silver. On the other hand, if your coin is in a 3 coin silver proof set with the dollar, half and quarter it is 40% silver. If your coin is loose, you should be able to look at the edge, if it is silver it will usually look more white compared to the non-silver version which will have a stripe of bright red (or sometimes pink) copper.
The value of .999 pure silver coins varies with the spot price of silver on the market. A one-ounce silver coin will always be worth, at a minimum, the spot price of silver. Depending on the condition of the coin and the market in general, it may be worth up to 100% more. Proof coins are worth more than the coins that are not circulated, which in turn are worth more than lower-grade coins that may have been handled or have scratches, dings, etc. With the spot price of silver approaching $35, a current check of asking prices for the 2003 American Eagle ranged from $40 for a specimen that is not circulated, to over $110 for a PR70-rated proof coin.

None of the Bicentennial coinage made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
