Best Answer

The melt value of these coins is roughly 40% of the price of silver, or about $7.50 as of 08/2008. However if your coin is in almost new condition or is dated 1949 its collector value may be higher, so it would make more sense to try to sell it as a collectible than for scrap metal.

Do you have information on a dollar size gold coin with Benjamin Franklin on it from the Franklin mint in 1976?

Typically the value of Franklin Mint items is its the melt value. This is the value of the silver if the item was melted down for its scrap value. Keep in mind that Franklin Mint uses Sterling Silver. It is only 92.5% silver. Pure silver is 99.9% silver. So the melt value is adjusted accordingly. A good rule of thumb is to expect to get about 80% of the price of pure silver. That said, like with any collectible, it is worth what someone else is willing to pay. If you happen to find someone who whats it and values it for more than the melt value, then count yourself lucky. And sell it to them. R.H.
