Terms of Use
The rules for using the calculators and tables on this site.
Updated
Educational use
The calculators and tables show the value of the metal in coins at a price you supply. They are educational estimates. They are not offers to buy or sell, not financial, tax or legal advice, and not a statement of what any buyer will pay. Collector value can be much higher than melt value, and dealers usually pay less.
No guarantee of accuracy
Weights and silver content come from published sources listed on the About page, and we check the arithmetic. We do not guarantee that a figure is free of error or that a coin you hold matches the description. Fakes exist; a date does not prove a coin is silver. Check your own coins, and check a figure against a second source before you rely on it for a sale.
Melting coins
Federal rules in 31 CFR Part 82 restrict melting and exporting one- and five-cent coins. Melt values for pennies and nickels here are metal-content figures, not a suggestion to melt. Check the current rule before you act.
Prices
The metal price in any calculation is the number you enter. We do not supply a live price and are not responsible for the price you use.
Changes
We may change the site or these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Questions: Contact. See also the Privacy Policy.
