How to Calculate Silver Coin Value
To find a silver coin's melt value, you need to know its total weight and silver purity. Most collectible and circulating silver coins are 90% (US coins) or 80% (Canadian coins) silver.
- Weigh the coin on a precise scale
- Look up the coin's silver content percentage
- Our calculator multiplies weight × purity × spot price
