Walking Liberty dollars have an ounce each, so it would be 14. You'd have to pay the transfer fee and sales tax in whatever form your FFL desires.

I found a very nice chart that does just that. It calculates silver at $10 an ounce, so multiple all values by 3:

1916-1945 Mercury Dimes 90% 0.07234 oz. 0.10 0.72

This is the second time I've noted an ad of yours accepting silver coin for purchase. I can certainly appreciate a man wanting to be paid in real money, but if I may ask, what is your aversion to bullion? I assume you mean trade silver rounds and bars like JM, Englehardt, Sunshine, etc? And why the laughing smiley? I'm just kind of curious because I don't understand the joke. Would you mind enlightening me?

What joke? The historical purpose of coinage was to make precious metals readily identifiable to the non-expert. Rounds and bars, much as I like them, are not as readily identifiable to third parties as, say, a Morgan dollar or a pre-64 Roosevelt dime. What worked for history, works for me. :s0112:
