How to Use Melt Value

Melt value is the floor, not always the market price.

Melt value estimates the metal value inside a coin based on current spot prices and metal content. Actual buy and sell prices can differ because of premiums, dealer spreads, condition, rarity, collector demand, certification, and liquidity. Some coins trade near melt. Others trade far above melt because of numismatic value.
