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.
-
31.103 g × .999 fine ÷ 31.1035 g per troy oz = 0.9990 troy oz
0.9990 troy oz × $54.05 spot = $53.99
How to identify it
- The winged Victory figure on the reverse; the Mexican coat of arms on the obverse.
- Libertads carry no face value; they are legal tender at their metal value.
- Coins from 1982 to 1995 are 36 mm across; from 1996 they are 40 mm. Both contain the same silver.
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.
