Spot is the price at which a coin is generally being sold for on the market. For example, if silver is at $42/ounce, a dealer could make a profit on melt by selling at spot+$5
Quote: So spot is by the silver content, and not by the coins value on the market?
Correct. Anytime people refer to spot price its only the bullion value of the coins aka the value of the metal. Generally coins that are referred to by spot pricing have no numismatic premium and their metal content is worth more than the coin is for the collectable value.
