united states how much is a 1 oz silver dollar worth

[AnthonyDella]

Well, you've stumbled upon a question that's more slippery than a greased weasel! While the provided search results confirm that the 1 oz American Silver Eagle coin does indeed exist, they are playing incredibly coy and have conveniently hidden the actual price. It seems their JavaScript is as disabled as my ability to give you a single, static number.

So, let's talk turkey based on how these things actually work. Your 1 oz silver dollar has two values. The first is its face value, which is a whopping one dollar. You could technically buy a soda from a very old vending machine with it, but that would be a financially tragic move.

The coin's real value, the one you care about, is based on the current market price of silver, often called the "spot price." This price zips up and down all day long. On top of that spot price, coin dealers add a "premium," which is an extra fee to cover the costs of minting and distribution, and to make a little profit. Therefore, the value of a 1 oz silver dollar is the daily spot price of silver plus a premium of a few dollars. Its worth is constantly in flux, making it much more exciting than the dollar bill in your wallet.
