How these melt values are calculated
Melt value = weight (g) × fineness ÷ 31.1035 × spot price per troy ounce. The weights and finenesses come from the Nu Stack coin database, which the app uses for Coin Portfolio and Coin ID. Melt value is metal content only; collector value for older coins depends on date, mint mark and grade. For scrap jewelry and bars, use the free scrap gold & silver calculator.
