hard to tell from your picture, but if its 1/10 gold, the melt/spot value is about $167

1/10 silver melt/spot value is about $3. Can you get a clearer and closer picture?

Fuzzy's calculation of melt value. However, 1985 was the only year Englehard made fractional silver and these sell for a good premium....
