    Pure silver eagle dollars
    Does it pay to hold on to silver coins any longer? I have them for a few
    years and the value has gone down. They are untouched or unused...
    Do I have to pay taxes on them if I sell them. About $1,500 worth

    You pay taxes on profits. If you sell them at a loss, you take a loss or don't bother to mention them.

    I sold about that much recently, just because ebay had a promotion on fees. If I could predict the future, I'd be rich, of course.
    (I wouldn't sell them at a loss if I were you.)

    They are untouched or unused... Did you buy them as uncirculated?
    Doesn't mean much. Are they Proof?

    I don't know what proof means
    I bought them from Amex or some name like that. They are definitely untouched

    Proof Coins vs. Uncirculated Coins - Production, Appearance, and Value

    Proof coins, on the other hand, are struck twice. The difference in the production process is a more , intricate and shinier appearance in Proof coins.

    Untouched is not a numismatists term. They are either Circulated, uncirculated ( mint) or proof. Are they in cases? Did you get a certificate with them?
