Face Value: 1.00 USD
Total Produced: 30,800,000 [?]
Silver Content: 90%
Silver Weight: .7735 oz.

Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in poor condition will be valued at somewhere around $17, while one in "perfect" condition can bring $146. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say poor, we mean worn more than would be expected from a coin in this age, and perfect meaning it looks "perfect" without flaw and possibly even certified. [?].
Additional Info: The 1923 Peace dollar in poor condition will most likely be worth more as scrap or junk silver. With silver prices being so high it may be better to sell it at melt. If the coin is in decent condition however you might want to keep it :)
Numismatic vs Intrinsic Value: This coin in poor condition is worth $6.48 less than the intrinsic value from silver content of $23.48, this coin is thus more valuable to a silver bug than to a coin collector. You will most likely find however that it is hard to get a coin for less than spot price. At least that has been our experience. Want more info? Then read Coin Collecting Investment an article that details the benifits of coin collecting as a way to build wealth..
Current silver melt value* for a 1923 No mint mark is $23.48 and this price is based off the current silver spot price of $30.36 This value is dynamic so bookmark it and comeback for an up to the minute silver melt value.

[Red] I've completed a pro/con spreadsheet on your coin, and by my valuation, it's worth $ 2.75. I'll give you $ 6.50 shipped, and feel that is a fair price for your coin. [Red]

Damn man. I put up a couple shelves and did some electrical.
Give a man a break.

I'm thinking about doing the same thing tomorrow and putting a sign on the door that I'll be open at 12.
