[QUOTE="ziggy9, post: 1554236, member: 8360"]there is a MAJOR difference between melting down a thousand silver dollars and damaging a masterpiece. A painting or other piece of fine art is unique, coins are not. The more accurate analogy would be someone burning a thousand dollar store prints of the Mona Lisa. People don't melt down the high end mint grade coins, they melt the ones that are so common that they don't have value above melt. I find it funny that you propose this bill but the quote in your sig is "paper money eventually returns to ist intrinsic value--zero". Aren't they all little artistic masterpieces to be protected at all costs? The CPA is coming (Coin Protection Agency) to check your coins.....[/QUOTE]
