Why does a dealer pay less than melt value?

Dealers buy bullion close to melt value and resell at a premium. The gap covers their costs and profit, and it is usually small for well-known bullion coins.

Is it legal to melt coins?

US rules prohibit melting one-cent and five-cent coins. That rule does not cover dimes, quarters, half dollars, dollars or bullion coins. Most people sell coins whole to a dealer rather than melting them.
