Sure, lots have been melted already which is partly why the supply of many dates is so thin. There are quite a few dates and denominations that only have 2-3,000 BU coins left. I know one dealer who personally had 10% of a coin&#039;s mintage melted a dozen years ago. He isn&#039;t very happy about that decision now as the remaining coins have sextupled in price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every one that is lost makes the remaining coins more valuable. I have to admit, though, that it&#039;s a fascinating strategy to pass up the chance to potentially make hundreds, or even thousands, of bucks on a coin and melt it instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Peter Anthony</p><p><a href="http://www.pandacollector.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pandacollector.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pandacollector.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
