Question 1

What is a coin melt value?

Accepted Answer

A coin's melt value is how much its metal content is worth at current spot prices. For example, a 90% silver quarter contains 0.18084 troy ounces of pure silver, so its melt value equals 0.18084 × spot price of silver.

Question 2

What is junk silver?

Accepted Answer

Junk silver refers to pre-1965 US dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins that contain 90% silver. These are bought and sold based on their melt value rather than numismatic (collector) value.

Question 3

Yes — both the Starter and Pro plans include a 14-day free trial. No credit card is charged during the trial period, and you can cancel anytime.

Question 6

How many coin types does BullionAssistant support?

Accepted Answer

BullionAssistant supports 72+ coin types including US 90% junk silver (dimes, quarters, halves, dollars), 40% Kennedy halves, 35% war nickels, pre-1933 gold coins ($1 through $20 double eagles), modern gold eagles and buffalos, Canadian silver and gold, US platinum eagles, and gold, silver, and platinum bullion bars.

Question 7

What is premium over spot?

Accepted Answer

Premium over spot is the percentage or dollar amount above a coin's melt value that a dealer charges. For example, if a coin's melt value is $20 and the asking price is $22, the premium is $2 or 10%. BullionAssistant calculates this automatically in the deal comparison tool.

Question 8

Does BullionAssistant use live spot prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BullionAssistant fetches real-time gold, silver, and platinum spot prices and uses them to calculate melt values automatically. Prices update continuously while you use the app.
