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
- Common dates (1924, 1927, 1928-P) trade a modest premium over melt.
- 1927-D is a genuine rarity. The 1907 High Relief is a recognized type premium on its own. 1933 double eagles are illegal to own: that specific date is a legal matter, not a value question.
