Normally the raw melt value will be very close to the spot price of silver, which changes daily (see e.g. a site like kitco.com for current quotes).
However bulk silver will probably bring only 50 to 60 percent of that amount from a dealer because they have to make a profit to stay in business. It would make more sense to sell the coin as-is, because bullion in coin form is usually more attractive to buyers.
As of 22 January 2014, the melt value of a U.S. silver quarter (dated before 1965) is $3.58.
Unfortunately not. The quarters you are thinking of are most likely the 1932-1964 Washington head quarters. These quarters were minted using approximately 90% silver and 10% copper. The overall weight of the coin is about 6.25 grams therefore using todays silver price ($17.25 USD/oz.) theoretically the coin has a melt value close to $3.15USD. Finding these quarters still in circulation is rare and depending on the condition of the coin, you may have better luck selling it to a collector rather than trying to sell the coin for its melt value.
Because silver prices change regularly any specific posted here would be out of date almost immediately. The best way to calculate it would be to check the current spot price of silver (kitco.com, CNNMoney, etc.) and multiply by 0.77 That's the retail value, of course. A jeweler or coin dealer will pay wholesale, maybe 60% of that, and one of those "We Buy Gold!!!!!" places will pay even less - perhaps 40% if you're lucky. Remember that any old coin should be checked for its value as a collectible which may be higher than its melt value. August 15, 2009 The melt value of a Morgan Dollar today is $11.36. As of today about $13.00
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.
Currently about $5. This price will change as the price of silver goes up or down.
The value of a silver coin is always changing because the value of silver is always changing. See the related link below for a silver coin value calculator. This does not give the actual value of the coin but it does give the value of the metal used to make the coin. This is know as the melt value.
I deal typically with melt value, your coin is worth about $1.81 melt value with 80% silver. However, you may want to check this coin on Ebay coins to see if it is worth more as a collectible.
See the website link below for a list of US silver coins made for circulation and their melt value.
Everyone I've talked to, coin dealers, antique dealers, have said the value is silver melt only. Each coin is about 2.1 oz of sterling silver (which is 90% silver), so about 1.9 oz of silver. Dealers will pay 75-95% of silver melt, so each coin is worth about 1.5 x silver price per ounce.
This depends on what the coin is made of. If it is made of silver or gold it will be worth more than if it was made of copper or zinc.
About $2.20 for the silver. It is a common coin only worth melt value regardless of condition.
The melt value, which only takes into account the coin's metal content and not its collector value, is currently about $5.
The melt value of Longines Symphonette sterling coins would depend on the current market price of silver. Sterling silver is typically composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, so the melt value would be calculated based on the weight of the silver in the coin. To determine the exact melt value, one would need to weigh the coins and then multiply the weight by the current price of silver per ounce.
About $2.20 for the silver content. If it is only in fine condition, it is such a common year it is worth no more than melt.
