<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mnmvick, post: 1163365, member: 15626&quot;]I went to a local bank about two months ago and asked for some dollar coins (I just get a kick out of spending those &quot;golden&quot; dollars.)&nbsp; Well, they said, yeah if you don&#039;t mind getting those huge Eisenhower ones.&nbsp; My standard response at this point is &quot;Well, I guess they all spend the same.&quot;&nbsp; They had 10, and one was silver, so that was a nice stumble on my part.&nbsp; The melt on that coin alone is $14.88!&nbsp; <a href="http://www.shoeboxcoins.com/MeltValues.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.shoeboxcoins.com/MeltValues.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoeboxcoins.com/MeltValues.aspx</a>&nbsp; I felt like I was robbing the place as I walked out of there . . . I guess the other 9 were worth about $1.50 each, at least.&nbsp; So I changed $10 of paper money (intrinsic value: 8 cents) into $28.38.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think that there is a coin minted that has any intrinsic value anymore.&nbsp; That isn&#039;t good for our hobby long-term, I don&#039;t think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
