Question
hey, I have a rare coin.
it has no date, no amount of money,
it have the statue of liberty on the front and it says (statue of liberty, and on the back side it says (united stated of America) and (one ounce) and it has an eagle flaying and under the eagle it says (.999 f.s.) I have been trying to find information on the Internet but I haven't found any. can you tell me any information about my coin??

Answer
Arturo,

This did not come from the mint.  It is a privately made silver round -- not technically a coin.  Its value is based only on the ounce of silver it contains.

Current silver prices are listed here : http://www.kitco.com

I hope this helps,

Dan

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
