* Wartime nickles were produced from1942
thru 1945 and had only a 35% silver content.

* Clad Half Dollars were produced from 1965
thru 1970, and had only a 40% silver content.

The rule of thumb is that for every $1 of
circulated silver U.S. coins, the value is
approximately 70 to 75 percent of the price
of a troy ounce of silver on that day.
Of course, different equations are used
for different coins. The formula given here
applies only to traditional U.S. silver coins
with a silver content of 90 percent. These
include the dimes, quarters, and half dollars
made before 1965.
Dealers generally purchase common silver
coins at 15% below bullion value, and sell
them at 15% above bullion value.
