How the melt value is worked out

Melt value is the pure silver in the coin multiplied by the spot price. We use the coin's standard minted weight; worn coins weigh slightly less.

  • 31.107 g × .999 fine ÷ 31.1035 g per troy oz = 0.9991 troy oz
    0.9991 troy oz × $54.05 spot = $54.00

How to identify it

  • Paul Kruger on the obverse; a springbok antelope on the reverse.

Melt value vs. collector value

Bullion coins usually sell for a premium over melt value. Proof, low-mintage and graded coins can be worth considerably more than their metal.
