Whats the value of a 1971 uncirculated Eisenhower silver dollar coin?

Question

Its still in its original plastic, also has a blue with silver righting plastic? coin with it that says uncirculated silver dollar, and a paper that says its uncirculated 40% silver, the blue cardboard case also says department of the treasury 1789

Answer 1

The 1971-S uncirculated Ike dollar in the blue pack is 40% silver and dealers are paying around $5.00 for them. Ike dollars have not really caught on as a collectable as of yet. Coin collectors are ignoring them at least for now. I did put a set together a few years ago for very little money and the coins have gone up some but not much. Sooner or later they will catch on so it is best to hold onto your coin for a while. It may pay off in the future.

Answer 2

6.8 million of these were minted so they are not rare. Aprox .316 oz of fine silver in each coin.  so the scrap value is about $4.

The 2008 red book price is $8.50  so a figure close to this would be what you are looking at.
