Important: These are melt values based on precious metal content only. Actual buy/sell prices vary: bullion dealers charge premiums when selling to you and pay below spot when buying from you. Rare dates, high-grade coins, or special varieties may be worth significantly more than melt value - consult a coin dealer before selling. Pre-1933 US gold coins and key-date silver coins often command numismatic premiums.
Modern gold and silver bullion coins (Eagles, Maple Leafs, etc.) are valued primarily for their metal content. Dealers typically sell at spot plus 3-10% premium and buy at 1-3% below spot.
Pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, and half dollars are 90% silver. They're bought and sold in bulk based on face value, with $1 face value containing approximately 0.715 troy oz of pure silver.
Rare dates, high grades, or special varieties can be worth far more than melt value. Have coins professionally graded if you suspect numismatic value before selling as scrap.
Melt value is the worth of a coin's precious metal content if it were melted down and sold as bullion. It's based on the coin's weight, purity, and current spot price.
Modern bullion coins (Eagles, Maple Leafs, etc.) typically sell close to melt value plus a small premium. Dealers pay slightly below spot when buying.
Junk silver refers to circulated pre-1965 US coins (dimes, quarters, halves, dollars) that contain 90% silver. They have no numismatic value beyond their silver content.
$1 face value of 90% silver US coins contains approximately 0.715 troy ounces of pure silver.
No. Rare dates, high grades, or special varieties can be worth significantly more than melt value. Have collectible coins appraised by a coin dealer.
1964 and earlier Kennedy halves are 90% silver. 1965-1970 halves are 40% silver. 1971-present contain no silver.
