I purchased this 2003 $5 Silver Indian Certificate which is die struck in .999 silver and then enhanced with color. It has the display box and COA Its # is AA0003 does this mean it was probablly the 3rd one struck and any idea on the value with a lower number like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This is tough....but this is more of a novelty item, no real numismatic value. IMHO it is worth it's bullion value. Sorry....
My experience has been that these things sell for something above spot. The most important question is how much does your silver bar weigh? If it's 1 oz. then a value of $8-$20 seems about right. The serial number, stickers, paint, box and COA are pretty, but they're mostly just marketing gimmics.
The Coin Shop I purchased the item from said at purchase the item cost $50. I have been dealing with this individual for 10 years and he has not lied to me yet as far as I know. He said the ones that came with the display case and COA were more expensive than those that did not. I saw one on EBAY go for $24 with $5 S&H but the # was much higher. I will be keeping this regaurdless as it is one of those items I just saw and liked. Thanks for the help
My wife bought me one of those when they came out - i think the National COllectors Mint put it out. I have 3 possibly 4 different ones with a $100, the $5 and a $2 (with a real $2 bill between 2 slices of silver) None of them cost $50 and my wife bought them directly from the NCM. I think they were around $25 or so and they are all 1oz of silver. They are only novelty. My wife bought me the $5 indian because at the time i didnt have the real deal. Its purely novelty, and not 'worth' any more then melt, except to someone who may want it for their own reasons.
Art bars & rounds are quite collectable and some will sell for a fair old price I have a few as does the Mrs If it were mine I would hang on to it as it is a lovely piece. De Orc
