I don't think you'll have much luck getting chromium made into a ring. It's quite hard and brittle. You might have to mill out a solid disk of it....
I'm thinking if you want to steal something worth the melt value of a double eagle, there are probably easier targets than a Brinks shipment.
And at the end of this test, you'll know whether you have a clad coin with new hairlines or a silver coin with new hairlines. :( Seriously,...
I lack the experience to judge, but I'd be worried about those rim hits...?
There are two things going on here. First, "$1 FV silver" generally refers to some combination of dimes, quarters, and halves. Uncirculated...

Actually, whoever estimated those odds doesn't understand statistics. Or maybe they were only talking about US citizens, and figured the average...
I'd look up all the coins for which there are high mintage numbers, but few known survivors. That way I'd avoid paradoxes -- "there were few known...
Thank goodness you left off the part about "once it's really hot, roll it really quickly onto your finger -- since silver conducts heat so well,...
