FAST ANSWERS
The questions behind
the number.
01How is a silver coin’s melt value calculated?+
Multiply the coin’s actual silver weight in troy ounces by the current silver spot reference, then multiply by quantity. This estimates contained metal value before spreads, fees, or numismatic premiums.
02How much silver is in a Morgan or Peace dollar?+
The standard reference is 0.7734 troy ounce of silver per coin, based on a 26.73 gram coin struck in 90% silver.
03Is melt value the same as collector value?+
No. Melt measures contained metal only. Date, mintmark, variety, grade, surfaces, authenticity, certification, and demand can make a collectible coin worth substantially more.
04Why might a dealer offer less than the displayed melt value?+
The displayed melt value is an estimate, not a guaranteed offer. A dealer may account for verification, refining, price movement, payment costs, and the amount being sold.
