Why melt them? As US Cents the weight and purity is guaranteed.
WOW! What a HUGE job....I'm not sure I could take it. LOL It's good you were hunting for gems too. I would have made that a priority because...
Now, that one is the BOMB! I can tell it has frosty luster, very nice!
They were widely hoarded and are quite common as well as inexpensive.
