A shop near my house advertises that their half dollars and Washington quarters are sold as low as SPOT. What does this mean?

They also claim that UNC Morgan's and Peace as low as $40 or $1 over spot. Thanks for the help.

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

Spot price on Morgans and Peace dollars is $23.75 at the moment.
At $40 each they are $16.25 over spot

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.
