The melting doesn't cause any weight loss but you might lose some if you pour it out of the melting pot and a little sticks to the sides.

1x3x4 inch bars I make weigh 4.25oz initially, but lose weight over time (down to about 3oz in a year) If you are doing melt and pour plan on 16oz making 4 bars, but they lose a little weight over time too.
let the heat Melt the fat away

warm them up
Silver is $32.66 per ounce, the ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of a Morgan or Peace dollar is .77344oz of pure silver $32.66 X .77344= $25.26 this is the current MV.
Yes, many coin dealers and jewelery store owners will buy silver coins close to their silver melt prices, they will then either resell them to an investor at more than they paid for them, or sell them to a refiner who will take the coins, melt it down, take out the 10% copper and sell the silver bars either to investors or to industry which uses some of silver's unique capabilities to conduct electricity to make many electronic goods.
