MeltCheck Shows What Your Gold and Coins Are Worth as Metal

A live-spot-price calculator for gold, silver, platinum, and US coins, with melt values and estimated buyer payout ranges.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The calculator exposes the arithmetic rather than returning only a headline figure: its 14K example applies .5833 fineness to a 10-gram weight and a displayed per-troy-ounce spot price. It then translates the melt value into separate estimated bands for pawn shops, local jewelers, and refiners. The coin workflow includes series, date, mintmark, and condition, while the page says its optional date-side photo is used once and never stored.
