Current Value Estimates (2024)
| Grade / Condition | Approx. Value (USD) |
|---|
| Melt Value (Silver only) | ~$8.50–$9.50 (based on $24–$27/oz spot) |
| Circulated (VF–XF) | $12–$20 |
| Uncirculated (MS60–MS63) | $25–$45 |
| Gem Uncirculated (MS65+) | $60–$100+ |

Key Factors: Silver spot price is the floor. Collector premium depends on grade, eye appeal, and certification (NGC/PCGS). The 1982 mintage was 25,000 (circulation) + 2,500 (proof)—relatively low, supporting numismatic premium.
For an exact valuation, have the coin graded by a reputable third-party service.
