<p>[QUOTE=&quot;celibate1, post: 122135, member: 5249&quot;]On the copper cents, watch the scrap/meltdown angle.&nbsp; Around 5 or 6 years ago we had a local scrap dealer busted for melting down copper cents with the scrap copper wire he bought.&nbsp; (He actually cast his own 20 pound ingots.)&nbsp; Turned out that the feds took a very dim view of melting down currently circulating coinage.&nbsp; I never found out what actually happened to him, the business was sold to pay his legal expenses I believe.&nbsp; But I always wondered how they could go after him for melting down pennies when so many thousands of people&nbsp; have melted down silver coins every time spot gets ridiculously high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
