Gold and silver melt value calculator
Count your coins or enter a weight and see the metal value at today's live spot price. The figures use the published silver and gold content of common United States coins. Melt value is a reference, not an offer: every piece is weighed, tested and quoted in person at the shop.
This calculator estimates metal content only. Collectible, key-date and high-grade coins are worth more than their melt value, and the metal is the floor rather than the answer. Bring your items to Parker Coin and Bullion for a free evaluation and a firm cash quote.
