[QUOTE="galapac, post: 2616982, member: 73406"]A simple google search would have given you this answer. Always look there first. Unless your coins are in BU condition you will not get more than melt for them. To be considered 90% silver (junk) the coin needs to contain at least 90% silver in its makeup.

[url]http://www.silverrecyclers.com/Calculators/coin_calculator.aspx[/url] This is a good tool as it factors in the X face value that sellers will charge. Please be aware that "melt" value that you are mentioning is based on spot price for 1 oz of pure silver. Since these coins do not contain a full ounce of silver you would not get melt value unless you had multiple coins as factored in the above tool.[/QUOTE]
