<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2360789, member: 36230&quot;]Excuse me? &quot;Ignorance&quot;? Perhaps I should take that as a compliment coming from one who, perhaps by design, has displayed nothing but. Dig a little deeper and then take a nice long look in the mirror, well, unless you already know the truth and are just using this little sham to pad your pockets. The only ones blind here, sir, are the fools buying into this crap. Don&#039;t believe me, please, but if you can waste time worrying about how many coins fit into a bucket, you should have enough time to spare to educate yourself. This isn&#039;t some big secret and there&#039;s plenty of verifying information available out there. Hell, just make a few phone calls tomorrow if that&#039;s easier for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing &quot;cull&quot; silver (which is a condition descriptor and has nothing directly to do with content) to &quot;copper alloy&quot; in the context of scrap may be your most laughable and pitiful comparison yet, but answer this... do those with any real understanding of what they&#039;re doing buy 35% or 40% at the same price as .999, or is it discounted, often heavily, due to content? A poor comparison, yes, but since we&#039;re already into apples, oranges, and nonsense, perhaps it will sink in. What your lovely link does is takes the price of grade A, which cents are NOT, and attempts to use it to determine a value for the copper content in a cent. This is the very heart of the problem as it ignores the fact that cents, in their present alloy form, are NOT worth grade A prices and that no refiner, even if legal, is going to pay anywhere close to grade A prices for them. Cents are almost always considered to be a &quot;copper alloy&quot; and prices paid are comparatively low. A number quoted in the internet is meaningless if it doesn&#039;t match up to real world realities. Just because some fool doesn&#039;t grasp this fact, takes Coinflation (or the like at face value), and is willing to pay for what he&#039;s not getting, this doesn&#039;t change the facts. If you explain the facts to such an individual and they still wish to buy, that&#039;s their own foolishness, but if it is not explained, and this person does not understand, you&#039;re simply burying them in order to pad your pockets, and is as simple as that. Half this board will erupt in anger over the slightest possible/supposed misrepresentation of a collectible coin on ebay, yet other than Chris, turns a blind eye to this sham even though it&#039;s much more cut and dry. This isn&#039;t brain surgery or rocket science here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
