Silver melt value for this coin is at $5.35, so that’s what I’d say it’s worth.

 

Fully agree

 

With a mintage of over 273,000,000, this is a common silver melt coin. Even in nice condition, it would still be worth $5-$6.5.

 

Melt value

 

I'm guessing that it would probably grade about MS64, but it wouldn't be worth it to submit it for grading by one of the top-tier grading services. Therefore, most buyers would probably offer no more than melt value for a raw coin.

It should weigh 12.50 gms. When was the last time your scale was calibrated?

Never, lol. so new to this. I didn't know I was supposed to to do that. I was just curious. I will be keeping it

 

Thank you everyone for responding, I appreciate your time.

 

You can calibrate your scale by weighing an object of a known weight to determine how accurate your scale is. For example, if you have a few uncirculated SQ's or ATB quarters, you can check to ensure that all of them weigh the same, 5.67gms.
