How this model works

For 90% dime/quarter/half categories, enter total face value, not coin count. The calculator multiplies face-value silver factors by live spot.

FAQ

Why face value instead of count? Junk silver is commonly bought and sold in face-value lots.

Are premiums included? No, this is intrinsic melt only.
