Just back from the store.... Till change

[LaGold]

I always ask the girl at the register no matter where I'm at... Got lucky this time.. She wanted just a dollar.. I replaced the dollar for her drawer and gave her five so she would save me more when she notices silver... That's one awesome 5 minute trip to the convenient store.

it always blows me away that people spend stuff like that. what a fantastic save, and profit as well

I don't understand, sorry if this is a dumb question. It says it's $1, but if it's an ounce, that's worth like about $17, right? Was silver in 1997 worth $1 per ounce or something?

No it was made as a collectible coin not meant for circulation

Un freakin believable that someone would spend that like it was mere chump change. Great score.

kaa, here's the wikipedia page for information about the US silver eagle bullion coin. Besides all the other information you can learn about these coins, a detailed answer to your question can be found close to the bottom of the page under the paragraph titled 'Value'.
