It takes about $1.28 of silver money to equal an ounce of silver so, at $18/oz a dime would be about $1.50. A nickel-sized coin would probably be worth about $5.00.

Maybe we should issue a $5 coin made of silver and see if that doesn't shore up the value of the dollar.

Or we could simply elect a government that wasn't running the presses at the mint 24/7 and spending us into penury.

did you factor into your figures that silver dimes are NOT sterling silver? They are somewhere around 90% silver, I believe.
