My List
Use “Add to my list” on any calculator to total up several pieces, then print the list to take with you when you sell.
Melt value vs. collector value
Melt value is the floor: what the silver or gold in a coin is worth. Many older coins sell for more than melt because of their date, mint mark or condition. Common circulated coins such as worn 1960s quarters usually trade close to melt, while scarce dates of Morgan dollars, Mercury dimes or pre-1933 gold can be worth much more. Check any older coin for collector value before selling it for its metal.
Reading this chart
Weight is the full weight of the coin, including copper and other alloy. Pure silver or gold is the precious metal actually inside it, sometimes called ASW (actual silver weight) or AGW (actual gold weight). That is the number melt value is based on. Junk silver can also be valued by face value with the junk silver calculator.
