    Or when it's made out of silver. Going rate today is 4-5 times face.
    When in doubt, don't.

    It looks like a plain-old crummy, circulated, Frankie image

    However it does not feel or sound like silver. Might be German Silver - Nickel Silver.

    melt value? negative time face. you'd put more cost into the melting it and purifying it than any silver is worth.

    whacky collector value,... up to $45. sheesh.

    It has two raised scratches on the obverse, and a light seam on the edge.

    or maybe the uber-rare double obv gouged "Lighting Bolt" Frankie!! image
