but here is the math.

spot x .90/31.1 x weight in grams of the coin. Substitue .40 for 40%

Find out the weight in silver of each coin then multiply that times the spot price.

Example 1960 quarter = .181 silver content. Spot price $30.21 thus value of quarter is $5.46

Market price - depends on how much a buyer is willing to give you. Some will offer 10% - 20% below, Some will offer full spot price and you may get someone to offer a little over spot.

The standard calculation used for circulated 90% minor coinage(no dollars) is 0.715 troy ounces per $1 face value. Multiplying 0.715 by the current spot price of $30 will give you a face value multiplier of ~21x so a dime would currently be worth $2.10, a quarter $5.25, and a half dollar $10.50.

Unfortunately, the owner of that particular website spammed his way to the top of Google searches, which is why the swearword filter has been programmed to block the website name or URL.

There is also a page in the Whitman Red Book that will chart your bullion values.

Ok, I hope I dont get flack for posting this one. But this is my favorite calculator for us silver coinage. It is nice because you can add in a specific number of each coin and it will add it up, other ones I have used you have to convert each itemX that number of coins. This one keeps track of all and totals them up. The sight also has other world calculator's
