The U.S. Silver Coin Melt Value Calculator, which is located below, can be used to figure the
total silver value and total silver content of a single United States issued silver coin or a
combination of several different types and quantities of U.S. junk silver coins. The silver coin
calculator only shows what the silver in your coins is worth (intrinsic value), and will not
show any numismatic (collector) or base metal value.
Use the silver coin calculator to determine how much the silver in your coins is worth, or to
set a max bid on a silver coin auction based on its silver content melt value.

How to use the U.S. Silver Coin Melt Value Calculator.
Enter the total quantity of coins for each type of silver coin in the entire coin lot. Enter your numbers in the corresponding text boxes to the
right of each silver coin description (blue link). As an alternative, you can simply click on the silver coin’s picture, or its link, to
increase the value in its text box by 1. The calculator will automatically update the Total Silver Value (in red), whenever a change is
made to the number of silver coins.
The Total Silver Value is calculated based on the U.S. Dollar amount specified in the Silver
Price text box. The default price is updated periodically throughout the trading day. You
can change the Silver Price to represent the amount you'd like to pay per ounce for the
silver content in any assortment of U.S. silver coins. This will help you to figure the maximum
bid you could enter for an online silver coin auction.
In addition to the Total Silver Value (in red), the silver coin calculator will also figure a Bid and Ask price based on the value displayed in
the Price Spread text box. This value defaults to 5%, but can be changed if you wish. The silver Bid and Ask prices are shown in the lower
tier of the silver results box, for those who have an interest in them.
The U.S. silver coin calculator figures total silver value and total silver content based on the
amount of silver contained in uncirculated silver coins that have no wear. A circulated silver
coin, which does have some wear, will not contain as much silver. You may want to indicate a
percentage of that wear in the "Amount of Wear" text box. A value greater than the
default of 0 (zero), will reduce the total silver value and total silver weight results
accordingly.
