<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1397793, member: 13650&quot;]Yeah I think most stuff that gets sent in right now to be melted should be.&nbsp; A lot of junk out there.&nbsp; There&#039;s some coins you see and you wonder why they&#039;re still around.&nbsp; But there&#039;s always somebody trying to squeeze some numismatic value out of them.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If silver hits 80-$100+ a lot more nicer coins will probably be gone.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s a lot of people sitting on silver dollars out there that got them for 4 or $5 a piece.&nbsp; &nbsp; Others might have hundreds or thousands they only paid $13 a piece for.&nbsp; If all of a sudden these become worth $77 melt value or more, you can imagine they will probably be melted in droves.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There&#039;s no way to know which dates were affected by the Pittman Act.&nbsp; They grabbed everything that was readily available and began melting them down.&nbsp;&nbsp; No detailed records kept.&nbsp; So no way to know if the lower mintages got hammered or if higher mintage years bore the brunt of it.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
