Bullion coins usually trade a few percent above melt when buying and slightly below melt when selling back. Expect 90–98% of melt from a specialist dealer and less from a general pawnbroker.
Wear removes a little metal but the loss is usually under one percent, so heavily circulated coins are still bought near melt. Damaged or mounted coins may be discounted for extra refining work.
Only if it has no collector premium. Rare dates, proof issues and original packaging can add well above melt value, so check the date and mintmark before melting.
