Melt value is what the pure gold or silver in a coin is worth at the spot price.
- Fine weight = gross weight (g) × fineness (‰ / 1000).
- Value = fine weight (g) × spot price per gram.
- 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 g; price per gram = price per ounce ÷ 31.1034768.
Spot now: gold …/g, silver …/g, platinum …/g.
When the statute declares fine content
Some laws state fine content directly. U.S. law says the $50 American Gold Eagle «contains one troy ounce of fine gold». We then use 1 troy ounce of fine gold. The London Gazette Britannia silver proclamation states 32.454 g at 958.4‰ with «ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER».

Dealers sell above spot and buy below. Rare coins can be worth far more as collectibles. Values on this site are indicative and are not offers to buy or sell.
