Melt is the floor: what the metal alone is worth today. A coin's collector value can be higher (date, mint mark, condition). It is rarely lower.

A dealer's buy price sits under both melt and retail on purpose — that spread is the margin that keeps the doors open. Ours is listed openly instead.
What makes one worth more than melt
- 1911-D, 1920-S, 1930-S, and 1933 are the recognized key dates.
- Common 1910s dates still trade a premium over melt. This series doesn't really have a bare-melt date the way some silver series do.
