∙ 15y agoThe value of a silver dollar based on its silver content can vary depending on the current market price of silver. Silver dollars minted before 1965 typically contain 90% silver and 10% copper, which gives them intrinsic value beyond their face value. You can determine the approximate silver content value by multiplying the weight of the coin by the current price of silver per ounce.
A 1950 nickel is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, with no silver content. Its value is based on its numismatic worth and condition rather than its metal content.
A 1945 quarter is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The silver content gives it value beyond its face value to collectors and investors.
A 1972 silver dollar should be made of 40% silver and 60% copper. You can verify the metal content using a magnet, as silver is not magnetic. Additionally, you can have the coin tested by a professional to confirm its authenticity.
In numismatics, the term used to describe the value given to a coin because of its metal content is "intrinsic value." This refers to the actual value of the metal in the coin, such as gold or silver, independent of any numismatic premium.
