When Should You Sell Silver Coins At Melt Value?
We often tell people that all silver coins are generally worth more than the face value since the prices of silver have increased exponentially in recent years. Today, the typical silver dollar is worth $20 instead of the $1 face value. That said, some silver coins are worth more than the value of the silver metal used in the coin. The value is referred to as numismatic or collectible value. Usually, these are collectors’ coins, which means that a collector will pay more for them based on their age and rarity. If anything, melting these so-called collectors’ coins is a waste of money. Take, for instance, the 1922 Peace dollar coin in uncirculated condition is worth around $40, whereas its melt value is around $18 which is irrelevant of present silver prices.
If a rare silver coin is severely damaged, i.e., has deep scratches, etc., it would be worth a lot less then if it was in better condition or uncirculated condition. Lots of rare coin collectors are looking for rare silver coins in fair or mint condition, and if the rare coin is damaged, many collectors would rather not own that damaged coin.
You can do a bit of research by looking up the age and the type of coin(s) you have. To help with your research we suggesting buying, The Official Red Book, A Guide Book of United States Coins, click on the link to purchase from our site, Whitman 2022 Red Book Pricing Guides – NPMEX. Again, the condition plays an important role in its value. Usually, uncirculated mint condition coins are worth significantly more in value compared to worn or corroded coins. Often coins with unusual mistakes, aka minting errors, can be worth more as well.
