Only coins in "brilliant, uncirculated" condition that are dated 1963 are worth anything MORE than their intrinsic silver value because there are so many of them. To calculate the value of the silver in USA silver content coinage on coins dated 1964 and earlier, take the value of the coins in dollars and multiply by .7234 which will give you the approximate number of ounces of silver contained in those coins (unless they are worn greatly). Look up the current price of silver on the web. On 2009Jul15, the spot closing price for silver was $13.23/oz. Multiply the number of ounces of silver you have in those coins by the price per ounce, and you have the total value of the silver at today's prices. If you have 6 silver quarters, 2 silver dimes and 1 silver half dollar, then you have $2.20 worth of coins in face value. $2.20 * .7234 = 1.59148oz Ag. If the price of silver on the day you look it up is $15.00/oz (it goes up and down a lot), then your coins are currently worth about $23.87 at a coin shop. They will give you a little less, because they want to make a profit. If you want to buy silver coins from them, they will charge a little more. Some shops charge a LOT more and pay a LOT less. It pays to call around and get BOTH their bid and ask prices. This is just lingo for "buying and selling" prices. If you can't get a fair deal from your local shop and are willing to pay (lose) shipping, send me an e-mail and I'll give you the best deal that I can afford at that time, (I'm not in the business but I like silver and might be low on cash when you want it). eBay is also usually a place that you can get MOST of your value out of silver coins, but you have to wait to get your money and pay all their fees.
