Silver Proofs
Why do coin shops buy only at weight-level-worth for silver coins?
I’d bought a collectible Lewis & Clark Comemorative silver proof coin from the US Mint a few years ago.
Recently, I took it down to the local coin shop curious to see what it might be worth.
The dealer there weighed it, and offered me the amount silver was selling for at the time.
When I told him I’d bought it for slightly more than what he was offering, he said they buy only at the weight value, but would not explain further.
Any collectors out there who’d be able to help me with this?
If you are talking about the 2004 Lewis & Clark commemorative $1, then consider the following:
I assume you left it in the original plastic capsule. Removing US commemorative silver coins from the capsules is a huge no-no.
It also makes a difference whether you still have the original box and Certificate of Authenticity. (Not much difference in price between proof and uncirculated coins).
If you did all that, then your coin should go for between $25 and $30 on eBay.
Current silver value is .77 ounces * about $14/ounce or $10.78, which is low for that coin unless it has problems.The dealer shouldn’t have had to weigh it – all US silver dollars are precisely the same weight.
Added later: The questioner has informed me that the coin is indeed in the original capsule and he does have the box of issue and COA. Since this is the case, he is simply getting a very low offer from the dealer. I don’t know offhand what Green Sheet buy is for that coin, but I would guess at least $18. If this dealer is offering $12 or less, he is trying to rip you off.

Math Proofs Demystified $19.95 Almost every student has to study some sort of mathematical proofs, whether it be in geometry, trigonometry, or with higher-level topics. In addition, mathematical theorems have become an interesting course for many students outside of the mathematical arena, purely for the reasoning and logic that is needed to complete them. Therefore, it is not uncommon to have philosophy and law students grappling with proofs. This book is the perfect resource for demystifying the techniques and principles that govern the mathematical proof area, and is done with the standard “Demystified” level, questions and answers, and accessibility. |

God, Reason and Theistic Proofs $26 “Attempting to prove the existence of God is an ancient and venerable tradition within the discipline known as the philosophy of religion. But can we truly prove the existence of God using human reason alone? Just how do we prove the existence of God? Why try? Which, if any, of the various theistic proofs are persuasive? God, Reason, and Theistic Proofs tackles these fundamental questions head-on.Stephen T. Davis examines a cross-section of theistic proofs that have been offered by theologians and thinkers from Anselm to Paley, explaining in clear terms what theistic proofs are and what they try to accomplish. He then goes on to explore in depth the relationship between theistic proofs and religious realism, the ontological argument for the existence of God, the cosmological and teleological arguments, the position known as foundationalism, and the argument from religious experience.Wisely structured and clearly written, this volume will make an excellent resource for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to the debate surrounding the existence of God, or for those seeking intellectual validation for their faith.” |

Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God $110 Peter C. Hodgson provides a new translation of Hegel's 1829 lectures on the proofs of the existence of God, based on the definitive German edition. Coming late in his career, these lectures give us the great philosopher's final and most seasoned thinking on a topic of obvious significance to him, that of the reality status of God and ways of knowing God. – ;The Hegel Lectures Series. Series Editor: Peter C. Hodgson. Hegel's lectures have had as great a historical impact as the works he himself published. Important elements of his system are elaborated only in the lectures, especially those given in Berlin during the last decade of his life. The original editors conflated materials from different sources and dates, obscuring the development and logic of Hegel's thought. The Hegel Lectures series is based on a selection of extant and recently discovered transcripts and manuscripts. Lectures from specific. years are reconstructed so that the structure of Hegel's argument can be followed. Each volume presents an accurate new translation accompanied by an editorial introduction and annotations on the text, which make possible the identification of Hegel's many allusions and sources. Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God. Hegel lectured on the proofs of the existence of God as a separate topic in 1829. He also discussed the proofs in the context of his lectures on the philosophy of religion (1821-31), where the different types of proofs were considered mostly in relation to specific religions. The text that he prepared for his lectures in 1829 was a fully formulated manuscript and appears to have been the first draft of a work that he intended to publish and for which he signed a contract shortly before his. death in 1831. The 16 lectures include an introduction to the problem of the proofs and a detailed discussion of the cosmological proof. Philipp Marheineke published these lectures in 1832 as an appendix to the lectures on the philosophy of religion, together with an earlier manuscript fragment on the. cosmological proof and the treatment of the teleological and ontological proofs as found in the 1831 philosophy of religion lectures. Hegel's 1829 lectures on the proofs are of particular importance because they represent what he actually wrote as distinct from auditors' transcriptions of oral lectures. Moreover, they come late in his career and offer his final and most seasoned thinking on a topic of obvious significance to him, that of the reality status of God and ways of knowing God. These materials show how Hegel conceived the connection between the cosmological, teleological, and ontological proofs. All of this material has been newly translated by Peter C. Hodgson from the German critical editions by Walter Jaeschke. This edition includes an editorial introduction, annotations on the text, and a glossary and bibliography. - |
