Does anyone know how to calculate the metal value in different coins? I have gone to Deleted4, but if you do the math it tells you to, you will come up with different totals than they did. So is there any other way to figure this out?

Deleted4 has a silver calculator. It tells you the silver value per coin series. It is updated daily based on what silver closes at.

How do they spam a site,What do they do?


Someone at this particular site signed up here under 4 different ID's over a 4 month period and just posted links to the site. They had no intention of being a participating member, they just wanted free advertising and backlinks. Locked the first ID after no response to my explanatory email, and they signed up and spammed again, then the cycle repeated 2 more times until I banned the IP from the site. All four had the same IP address and all had emails from this sites domain. They must think I'm stupid I guess. This goes on almost daily, now that we have grown. Most members just don't see much of it because of the diligence of our members and staff.

I never resorted to any of these underhanded spamming tactics in the building of this site. I did it the hard right way with SEO and legitimate link building. So, sites that use these tactics at my expense only buy their domain name a quick one way ticket to the bad word filter as witnessed here in this topic. Like Ron Popeil says, "Set it and forget it".

In fact, another just this past second, bit the dust. New member triumph110, first post's only intention was to spam his site. The topic was removed and an email sent... no reply. This was 2 days ago.

I make my previous post in this thread and move on to new topics, whaddya know? A new topic from this same member spamming his site again.

He's now and his site is now in the bad word filter.

Meanwhile back to your question. I'm not sure exactly what you want. Are you interested in the melt value of each type of coin? With or without wear? For recyclers, jewlers, novelty makers, etc.?
For you to buy or to sell? All have slightly different prices based on current metal values, who wants what, which metals are wanted, etc. For example metal recyclers will pay a very slight amount for cents since they may not want the Zinc. Also, since many actually are worried about laws, they may pay very little for cents.
If interested in Silver only you could do as already noted and just look up percentages in the Red Book and estimate the amount of loss due to wear. Of course even with Silver you would have to find someone that wants those coins for just the Silver content and again the prices will vary considerably. Especially if worried about any melt coin police in the area.
