That depends on what you mean by the question! It is assumed that the piece of silver referred to was a Shekel, which weighed about 15 grammes (about half an ounce). As a commodity, silver is worth around $20 an ounce, so in raw terms a Shekel is now worth $10, so 30 Shekels is worth $300 (£210). However I guess what you are asking is how much it is worth, adjusted for inflation. Well one Shekel would have been around a week's wages for a farm labourer which in today's money is about £290 ($410) in the UK, so 30 Shekels would be about £9000 ($13000). We know Judas went off with his 30 pieces of silver and bought a field, so that $13000 estimate is probably realistic.

∙ 11y agoNo one will really know what it was back then. Back in biblical times a peice of silver was called A denarius. Matthew 20:2 tells that a denarius was an unskilled laborer's wage for a day's work. So take minimum wage, multiply times eight, then times thirty, and you'll have a rough idea. So you see you can have a rough estimate but not exactly how much since inflation.

What was the value of 30 pieces of silver?
$19.20, about 113 days' wages of the common laborer at .17 cents a day. Obviously, you couldn't hire a laborer today for that much, so what would today's value work out to be? If you wanted to hire a worker, you could pay him from $100 to $125 per day in the US. So, using a day's labor as the means of comparison, it would work out to be $11,300 to $14,125 US. This could buy a nice chunk of land in most states, just like the 30 pieces of silver bought the potter's field in Matthew 27:6-10.
