How much is 20 pounds of dimes worth?

Answer 1

U.S. cents were never struck in silver. Specifically, all 1920 cents were made of bronze. If your coin is silver-colored it was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. That makes it an altered coin with no numismatic value.

Answer 2

Genuine $20 (double eagle) gold coins are 90% gold and 10% copper. These coins contain nearly a troy ounce worth of gold in them (about $1350 or so in gold at the time of writing) and so even in the worst condition they'd be worth the $1350 worth of gold.

Better-grade and better-date coins will be worth more. Generally speaking, a St. Gaudens double eagle will be worth more than a Liberty Head double eagle when both are in the same condition and the same rarity, however the date, mintmark and condition play a huge role in the value of these coins.

Keep in mind though that there are many fakes and replicas out there. A reputable coin dealer can identify if you've got a genuine or fake coin with ease though.

Answer 3

A pound (not troy pound, but just a normal pound) of 90% pure silver dimes would get you about 13.122 troy ounces of pure silver. At current silver prices of $33 a troy ounce, that would get you about $433 in just pure melt. Keep in mind that there are coins which are worth more to collectors than just pure melt values however.

Answer 4

Silver coins are 90% silver with 10% copper. As of 15 June 2012 silver is worth $28.65/oz. With 16 ounces in a pound, times 22.5 lbs (90% of 25), and the total silver value is $10,314. In case you're interested, that leaves 2.5 lbs of copper at a present market price of $3.36/lb, giving you an additional $8.40 worth of copper.

Answer 5

Precious-metal prices change every day so any specific answer posted here becomes out of date almost immediately.

In any case silver (and gold) are priced by an unusual unit called a troy ounce so 200 lb has to be converted first. A quick look at a conversion table gives the value 1 US pound = 14.5833 troy oz, so 200 US pounds would be 14.5833*200 = 2916.66 troy oz. Finally, check a site such as kitco.com, CNNMoney, etc. for the latest spot price of silver and multiply the two. For example if the daily price is $12.53 per troy oz, the total value would be $12.53 * 2916.66 = $36,545.75

Answer 6

To calculate the value of 20 pounds of dimes, we first need to determine the number of dimes in 20 pounds. A single dime weighs approximately 2.268 grams, so 20 pounds is equal to 9,072.33 grams. Since each dime is worth 10 cents, multiplying 9,072.33 grams by the equivalent value of a dime gives us a total value of $907.23 for 20 pounds of dimes.
