# Melt Value Check

> Live melt values for U.S. silver, gold and copper coins, computed from spot prices and minted metal content.

Melt Value Check publishes the current melt (intrinsic metal) value of every circulating-era U.S. silver and gold coin: Morgan and Peace dollars, 90% silver quarters, dimes and halves, 40% halves, 35% silver war nickels, classic gold eagles and modern bullion coins, plus copper cents. Values recompute from spot prices on every build and every page carries an as-of date, the formula used, and a downloadable CSV.
