<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RGJohn777, post: 1024529, member: 22102&quot;]My first question is &quot;Why?&quot;&nbsp; As a First Spouse their weight and purity were established beyond doubt.</p><p>&nbsp;My second is: &quot;Melted them into what?&quot;&nbsp; Just an ingot? Lots of little ingots? </p><p>&nbsp;Which brings me to my third and final question which is, once again, &quot;Why Leon, why?&quot;</p><p>------</p><p>&nbsp;Why did you take the trouble, the time, the money, the highly skilled expert labor, fuel, capital cost of equipment [furnances,precise analytical balances, other such not inexpensive items], fluxes, and whatever else I haven&#039;t yet thought of but was involved in all that merely to render a universally recognizable US Mint product into a somewhat less universally recognized private comapny ingot? And that is not to mention the customary &#039;melt loss&#039; that is invariably rearing its ugly head.</p><p>----</p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;m sure I&#039;m just dumb but I just don&#039;t understand how this scenario works to produce a profit rather than a substantial loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
