I figure with all the garbage they put in the food now days it was probably one of the better things I ate that day. :eek:
It wouldn't take much to melt it which might well cause a fire. With enough load the zinc itself would burn. The only thing I've ever used...
Most of the valuable coins from the era are either Gems or varieties but it might be worth looking for '82/ '83 dimes in BU. Errors are also...
Perspective is everything. The copper in the pennies is worth a couple cents each but they are illegal to melt and even if they were legal most...
Believe it or not the best place is the corner coin shop. These sets tend to be pristine and not picked over too much. Take a look before buying...
These sets are treated with great abandon by the market but someday this won't be true. It won't be true for exactly the reasons NPCoin listed....

Whatever the cause I'm back in now.
