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 Musikverein's organ on one side; a group of orchestral instruments on the other.
- The Austrian Mint states 31.07 g of fine silver, slightly under one troy ounce.
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.
