xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

$1.50 face of junk silver dimes or quarters
bid (you sell) $64.28 x 1.5 = 96.48
ask (you buy): $75.71 x 1.5 = 110.36

Junk Silver Value - $1.50 Face

Current Silver Spot Price (as of late January 2026): approximately $103.50 – $104.00 per troy ounce (live spot around $103.91 ask from major dealers like APMEX / JM Bullion data).

The standard for 90% junk silver is 0.715 troy ounces of pure silver per $1.00 face value (widely accepted figure across dealers).

Therefore $1.50 face value contains:

0.715 oz × 1.5 = 1.0725 troy ounces pure silver

Melt / intrinsic value (spot only, no premiums):

At $103.50 / oz spot → ≈ $111.01
At $103.91 / oz spot → ≈ $111.45
At $104.00 / oz spot → ≈ $111.54

In real transactions:

Dealers typically add 5–15% premium over melt when selling junk silver bags/rolls (so buy price often $118–$128 range for $1.50 face right now)
When selling to dealers, you usually get slightly below melt (e.g. 2–8% under spot depending on quantity/market)

For the most exact live figure, check a dealer site like APMEX, JM Bullion, or Kitco silver spot charts and multiply by 1.0725 oz.

Prices fluctuate constantly — spot silver has been volatile recently.
