About MeltValue.com

MeltValue.com is a free resource for anyone who needs to know the melt value of gold, silver, platinum, or palladium items. Whether you've inherited a collection of coins, found old jewelry in a drawer, or want to verify a dealer's offer before selling, our calculators give you an instant, accurate baseline using live spot prices updated every 60 seconds.

The site was built by precious metals enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of simple, fast, and ad-light melt value tools online. Most existing calculators are buried in cluttered pages, require unnecessary sign-ups, or use delayed prices. We wanted something better — a tool that loads instantly, works on any device, and shows you the number you need in seconds.

What We Offer

Our scrap gold calculator covers every karat from 24K down to 8K. The scrap silver calculator handles fine silver, sterling, coin silver, and European silver. We also offer specialized tools for platinum and palladium.

For coin collectors and junk silver enthusiasts, our US silver coin melt value tables and US gold coin melt value tables let you enter quantities for each coin type and see a running total. We also provide detailed gold price per gram and silver price per gram tables for quick reference.

Our Data

All spot prices are sourced from major precious metals exchanges and updated every 60 seconds during market hours. We display the current bid price for each metal in US dollars per troy ounce. Melt values are calculated using standard troy ounce conversions and the published purity of each alloy or coin type.
