Silver price today

Spot silver is quoted per troy ounce. U.S. silver coins were .8924 fine from 1794 to 1837 and 90 percent silver from 1837 through 1964; Kennedy halves kept 40 percent through 1970, and the wartime nickels of 1942 to 1945 carry 35 percent. Dealers trade the pre-1965 coins by face value, which is why each row also shows the melt as a multiple of face.

Weights and alloys are the catalogue's specifications for each issue, and the Mint’s for bullion; a worn coin weighs a little less. The melt calculator prices any weight and purity, and counts U.S. silver coins by the piece.
