Guide is the PCGS price guide figure for that date and grade, as shown on the coin's page, checked November 1, 2026. Worn common dates sit at one flat guide minimum. It is a retail guide figure, not an appraisal or an offer, and a coin page may list more grades. Melt is the metal in the coin at the live price.

Key-date prices are from the PCGS and NGC price guides, checked Oct 2026; "Varies" means no guide lists that grade, a single figure means the guides give one price, and "Not recorded" means the variety has no separate mintage. Other prices are Lustre's editorial estimates. How we estimate.

How Lustre works

How Lustre gets each number

Melt value

Live, from spot prices

Gold, silver, copper and nickel content times the current metal price. The live price refreshes about every minute while the page is open, with the reference price shown when live data is unavailable.

Facts

From the public record

Mintage, composition, weight, diameter and designer come from public reference tables, cited on every page.

Estimates

Ours, and labeled

Key-date grade values come from the PCGS and NGC price guides and say when they were checked. Other grade values are editorial estimates, not market data or an appraisal.

Coin scanner

Lustre names the series, reads the date and mint mark when they are visible, and shows the live melt value and an estimated collector range. Identification only, not grading. Free, no signup. Add the coin to My Stack to keep a running total.
