2005 Silver Eagle

[MichiganRob]

I have a question please...I deal Texas Holdem for a living and about three or four months ago a player gave me an S-Proof bicentennial Eisenhower Silver Dollar as a tip, I posted a photo here on Tnet. So tonight the same player gives me this 2005 Silver Eagle. He is a collector and he knows I like coins. Very cool, I posted photos below.

In the third photo is a detail of the obverse of this coin and there are 3 surface scratches on it that mar it's beauty.

So my question is this...given that this bullion coin has no numismatic value and is and will probably always be worth whatever an ounce of silver is worth...can I do anything to fix this problem so that it presents better?

Thank for looking and for any advice you have.

The Silver Eagle coins do have numismatic value. Their value will vary slightly based on condition. Also some years will be worth more. Unfortunately your 2005 doesn't meet any of the criteria for adding value. Even if not scratched it wouldn't be worth much more than the price of an ounce of silver. There is nothing you can do about the scratches. You may actually hurt the value if you try to fix them.

In another 100 years it may become more collectable and increase in value but right now it does not have much numismatic value. The bottom line is that you should just consider the coin as an ounce of silver.
