Estimates, Oct 2026, from Lustre's editorial model. Not market data. How we estimate.

How Lustre works

Three kinds of number, always labelled

Melt value

Live, from spot prices

Silver, copper and nickel content times the current metal price. Updated every fifteen minutes, 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 labelled

Grade values are editorial estimates, not market data or an appraisal. When a licensed price feed is available, we will say so and show the source.

The scanner

Hold a coin to the light. We will tell you what it is.
