There are lots of good sources for these. Here's one:
Premium over silver value is around 10-20% these days. Usually you will get dimes or quarters so they can be spent in small increments if it ever comes to that.
Here is a link to a discussion of the various ways to hold silver bullion:

You should expect to pay higher premiums for coins or medals in smaller amounts (less than a few thousand dollars invested). Sometimes the premium over the bullion value of coins will drop to near zero. Watch for this if you plan on buying. Regarding shipping, if you are sending or receiving silver coins, the only thing the Postal Service will pay off on if your shipment is lost is Registered, insured mail. If you have a local source for the silver of course, insurance and shipping cost is not a problem but be sure you weigh the coins before paying for them. When a dealer buys back a bag of silver coins, you can be sure he will weigh them to be sure they aren't all worn smooth.
