About the Silver Spot Price
PreciousCalc automatically fills this field with an aggregated live market spot price. Spot prices can vary slightly by data source, timing, buyer, seller, or dealer. You can override this value to match the spot price being used for your transaction. PreciousCalc will use your entered price for the rest of your session.
90% Silver Dimes, Quarters & Half Dollars
Common U.S. 90% silver series included in this calculation:
- Dimes: Mercury & Roosevelt — 1916–1964
- Quarters: Standing Liberty & Washington — 1916–1964
- Half Dollars: Walking Liberty, Franklin & 1964 Kennedy — 1916–1964
PreciousCalc uses the common circulated-coin estimate of 0.715 troy oz of silver per $1 face value, which accounts for typical wear.
Collector value matters. Date, mint mark, rarity and condition can make some dimes, quarters and half dollars worth more than their silver content. Use this calculator only when you already know the coins have little or no collectible value.
Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars
Classic 90% silver dollar production periods:
- Morgan Dollar: 1878–1904, 1921
- Peace Dollar: 1921–1928, 1934–1935
No regular U.S. dollar coins were issued for circulation from 1936 through 1970. Later Eisenhower dollars are not included in this calculation.
PreciousCalc uses the common estimate of 0.7734 troy oz of silver per $1 face value for Morgan and Peace silver dollars. Because each coin has a $1 face value, enter their combined face value as whole dollars.
Collector value matters. Date, mint mark, rarity and condition can make some Morgan and Peace dollars worth more than their silver content. Use this calculator only when you already know the coins have little or no collectible value.
About this calculation
PreciousCalc estimates the amount and current spot-price value of the silver contained in the coins you enter. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are calculated using 0.715 troy oz per $1 face value; Morgan and Peace silver dollars are calculated separately at 0.7734 troy oz per $1 face value.
Estimated Silver Content Value does not assume the coins will be or should be melted or sold for scrap.
Have uncirculated, rare, or collectible coins?
This calculator estimates the value of the silver contained in the coins. It does not estimate collectible or numismatic value. Rare, uncirculated, or collectible coins may be worth significantly more than their silver content value. Date, mint mark, condition, rarity, and professional grading can all affect collectible value.
