A lot of 90% silver coins trade at +/- 5% of current spot (or +/- 5% of the value of the silver in the lot of coins at current spot) ....depending on the dealer, supply, and demand.

The coins are traded at a # times the total face value of the lot of coins in dollars. To determine the current value (at what fair price) the coins will trade, multiply .715 times the current spot price of silver. This answer will give you the number that is multiplied times the face value of the lot of coins in dollars = the value of the coins.

i.e. Say the current spot price of silver is $18.25, and you have a lot of 90% dimes, quarters, or halves, or any combination of these coins with a total face value of $7.50.

$18.25 (spot) x .715 (oz. of silver in an "average" circulated lot of coins totaling $1.00 in face value) = 13.04875...rounded off to 13.0.

13.0 is the number that multiplied times the face value of the lot of coins ($7.50), = $97.50 (the value of the silver that the coins contain).

A more commonly way this is said is that the lot of coins will trade at "13 times face" (13 times the total face value of the lot of coins)....if the dealer is trading at the spot value of the silver the coins contain. Sometimes dealers don't trade at this amount but rather (as stated earlier) at + or - 5% of this amount, depending on the dealer, supply, and demand for the coins.
