    Indeed. I don't have any intention to sell it in the future. Afterall, you see people selling "uncirculated silver eagles".. Well I have a silver eagle that has been burnt, scratched, thrown, hammered (not yet), abused, and spent a few years in my pocket. Much more story than something that has been in a tube all its life!

    If I wanted to have some bullion to store, I'd get a bar

    So you're planning to sell all you have to refiner once prices drop? Why not sell it now?

    In 30-40 years from now, when i no longer wish to own pm, then i will. My talking about the excessive pm's is not referring to dropping prices but dropping interest.

    It will be easier to bend silver than gold but I dubt you can with your hands.
    If you happen to be sucessful, post pics but I doubt we will ever see pics.

    Only an uncommonly strong man could do it. or a woman on a lot of steroids maybe.

    But gold, I can rip through that with my teeth so easily it's like chocolate. It even tastes like chocolate actually...

    Well, update.

    I snapped my silver eagle in half! After putting it in a charcoal grille a few times. It got melty a small bit, and then it was mailable.

    Next time I go to my LCS I'm going to buy a peace or morgan cull and see what I can do :)

    just curious...why is it you are so bent on bending these possibly numismatic items? don't they have gyms wherever you live where you can easily take out this frustration?

    I would pay big bucks to see that coin bent, even more if it got dropped in the smelter's pot..........

    I don't see most, (99+%) of ASE's ever being numismatic. They bring premiums not due to numismatics but they are a recognized form of pure silver. The poster simply lost that premium by destroying it. I would never be one to advocate doing such things on modern commemoratives, real coins, etc, but to me a run of the mill ASE is only a silver round the US mint happened to strike.

    Right. It is just silver, and it is just worth its weight in silver now. That's the only reason I did it. I still have the weight of what its worth.

    so you have no slabbed/graded eagles...? and if you do, you would sell them for spot plus $1 like a standard silver bullion round...right?

    wrong
