Unless you have a coin that's extremely rare or proof minted coin it's only value is melt value.
When someone asks for help regarding a specific subject, they aren't looking for opinions, they are asking for help and an answer to their query!

Mleeja -- practically everything has value, and not just what someone will pay for it. If that was the case, there wouldn't be any such thing as an appraiser. There is a market price for just about everything.

To karostay -- a coin doesn't have to be "extremely rare," etc." to be worth more than its melt value. That is simply not true!
