<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 4604163, member: 88212"]The coin drop technique has more drawbacks than benefits. You can tell whether a coin is silver, silver clad or clad by eye. If you drop a coin and "discover" that it is silver you have a good chance of creating a damaged coin with next to no value over melt. Big bucks flow away from coins with rim dings and you are creating rim dings this way. Even when sorting heavily circulated coins of mixed clad and silver there are quicker and better ways to pull the silver than dropping the coins individually. It is up to you to determine whether the person who told you to do that was uninformed or just being mean and hoping to harm you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
