Hi Texokie!
“Oklahoma accepts US minted gold and silver also as legal tender.”
My question is this...the U.S. Mint issues their Gold and Silver Eagles with a Face value. For example, the 1 oz silver eagle has—if I remember correctly— a face value of $1 but the silver content may be worth $15. As legal tender I think it has to be accepted in all states, but only at the Face Value, $1. Will the states be using the current metal value or only the stated Face value of the currency?

I have not researched it, and I am asking those very questions myself! I do recall seeing something about face value as you mention, but I was only plunking around and didn’t save anything. I was only familiarizing myself with basic concepts at that point. Sorry.
So, you buy a thousand of them, melt them down and...
