EBAY'S MOST EXPENSIVE BULLION COIN LOTSI've mentioned before that despite its penchant for clickbait headlines, The U.S. Sun often does a decent job presenting numismatic content. A recent article enumerating eBay's most expensive gold and silver coins includes some evenhanded sensible comments from E-Sylum friend and contributor Greg Bennick. Here's an excerpt - see the complete article online. As might be expected, the outsize hammer prices were generated by bulk bullion lots, not coins likely to be found in your couch cushions. -Editor An analysis of eBay's sales data also revealed the most expensive silver coins bought on the online marketplace, going for upwards of $23,000. Today, rare coins often sell for thousands or even millions of dollars through platforms such as Heritage Auctions, APMEX, and eBay. 
SD Bullion, a leading bullion dealer, analyzed eBay's sales data to uncover the most pricey gold and silver coins sold between November 2024 and January 2025, offering a glimpse into the high demand for precious metals. The top three silver coin listings on eBay that sold between November 2024 and January 2025 each pulled in over $23,000. Leading the list of silver coins sold on eBay was a bag containing 4,000 90% Silver Washington Quarters. Despite its $1,000 face value, the bag sold for a whopping $23,271. These coins are popular among investors due to their silver content, with each pre-1965 quarter containing 0.1808 troy ounces of silver and the bag totaling 723 ounces of the metal. They are commonly known as "junk silver" - but don't let the name fool you. "The moniker 'junk' just relates to the massive amount of this type of material that exists and isn't a commentary on its value as a precious metal itself," said Bennick. "Silver is silver after all, regardless of whether it is in the form of bars or coins."
