FAQ
How much is a British Crown (pre-1947) worth in Australia?
The pure-silver melt value today is about A$44.00. Bullion-grade examples typically sell at a 10–25% premium; collector-grade pieces can trade for many multiples of melt.
Should I melt this coin?

Is the melt price the same as what a dealer pays?
Dealers usually pay 80–95% of melt for common bullion silver coins and substantially more for sought-after dates and conditions.
