I just brought up the home page for coinflation and I think it's time to sell some silver! The listed price is over $1300. I will try to add a screenshot asap.






I think it might be a typo

United States Circulating Coin Values
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This table does not reflect U.S. Mint production costs, but the pure base metal value that composes the coin. Calculations are based on coin weight, metal composition, and base metal prices. The "Metal % of Face Value" column represents the percentage of metal that comprises the denomination's purchasing power. A coin that is over 100% in this category has more base metal value than purchasing power.

Table based on March 26, 2014 mid-day base metal prices:
Copper $2.9589/lb 0.0288 Zinc $0.8914/lb 0.0074 Nickel $7.1740/lb 0.1158

Description Face Value Metal Value Metal % of Face Value
1909-1982 Cent (95% copper) * $0.01 $0.0195781 195.78%
1946-2014 Nickel $0.05 $0.0442315 88.46%
1982-2014 Cent (97.5% zinc) * $0.01 $0.0051975 51.97%
1965-2014 Dime $0.10 $0.0165489 16.54%
1965-2014 Quarter $0.25 $0.0413743 16.54%
1971-2014 Half Dollar $0.50 $0.0827498 16.54%
1971-1978 Eisenhower Dollar $1.00 $0.1655008 16.55%
1979-1981, 1999 SBA Dollar $1.00 $0.0591066 5.91%
2000-2014 Sacagawea Dollar $1.00 $0.0509442 5.09%
2007-2014 Presidential Dollar $1.00 $0.0509442 5.09%

* The U.S. Mint issued both compositions in 1982; they can be differentiated by weight (3.11 g copper, 2.5 g zinc). The 1943 steel cent is not included in the table above. Also, a tin alloy is used in one cent pieces from 1864 until 1962, but that value isn't significant enough to calculate.



Base metal coins not included above: 1938-1942 Jefferson Nickel, 1913-1938 Buffalo Nickel, 1864-1909 Indian Cent









United States Circulated Silver Coin Values - Updated Every Minute
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These coins were in standard circulation until silver was removed from all coinage in 1965 and 1970 (40% silver half-dollars). I recognize that the silver Eisenhower dollar was issued as a collectible only, but I'm still categorizing it with this group. This table illustrates how far the metal value has progressed compared to the denomination's purchasing power after the debasement.

Table based on March 26, 2014 6:38 PM EDT silver prices:
Silver $1305.77/oz 1286



Description Face Value Silver Value Silver % of Face Value

1946-1964 Roosevelt Dime $0.10 $94.4583 94458.33%
1916-1930 Standing Liberty Quarter $0.25 $236.1458 94458.33%

1878-1921 Morgan Dollar $1.00 $1009.9484 100994.84%
1921-1935 Peace Dollar $1.00 $1009.9484 100994.84%

1986-2013 Silver Eagle (.999 Silver) $1.00 $1304.4642 130444.01%

** The U.S. Mint issued two compositions of the nickel in 1942. The copper-nickel composition used today and the 35% silver composition listed here.
*** The 40% silver version of the Eisenhower dollar was issued as a collectible only, they are generally not found in circulation. The best way to distinguish the two versions is by weight. The copper-nickel version weighs 22.68 grams, the silver Ike dollar weighs 24.59 grams.

With the increase in page views, they're making more money.

I wonder how many people are running to the coin shop?

[dannan14]

Huh, $1,305.77, up 1,286....that's a healthy 6,505% increase!

[johnbrickner]

I know it's just a typo/mistake but could you imagine how it would be waking up one morning as seeing it for real? I could only imagine what mayhem would be going on additionally.

[rexmerdinus]

It's fixed now. I missed the boat, so I guess I'll just keep on stackin'!

[fansubs_ca]

If it was real (and nothing else changed) I'd be buying 2 rental properties
and rolling whatever is left into gold. ^_-

Reminds me of the time I logged into my brokerage account and looked
at the commodity prices, apparently oil was $0.00/barrel. Free oil! ^_^
