What is the value of a ten-dollar silver dollar sized coin?

Answer 1

Actually, It probably isn't worth US $10. Maybe $8 to a coin dealer. I'm guessing it is probably one of the non-circulating "commemorative" coins from the Marshall Islands. If it is, then it is legal tender and can be exchanged for US $10, but only at their central bank and one person may only exchange a certain amount each day, so it might cost you a thousand to get your ten. And it is a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. There are hundreds of these commemoratives and most of them are valued about $12-$13 in World Coins if they have never been handled. But it could be from a couple of other places too. Mexico, for instance, uses the dollar sign on some peso currency, but I don't think there is a ten peso coin with it. If there is, the exchange rate would probably be about 2 cents. If it is a privately-issued American Liberty Dollar, it is one ounce of .999 fine silver, which contains about $13 worth of silver as of May, 2007. The collectible value may be greater, although most numismatists will treat it as a simple "silver round" (one ounce of silver in a round shape).
