<p>[QUOTE="lincolncent, post: 971488, member: 22506"]I have an interesting point I'm surprised no-one has brought of. Lets just say meting pre-1982 coppers does become legal. Then you get a whole bunch of people melting these coins which will cause them to disappear, making them harder and harder to find. Once enough people have melted them because they hold "little to no numismatic value" and millions have disappeared from circulation, think about what will happen to the value. I personally keep the ones I get in change just for the heck of it. I search them for varieties and throw them in a bucket. I never plan on melting them, just saving them until one day it <i>is </i>legal to melt them and enough people do it to drive numismatic value up. I know its a long shot but my grandchildren and great grandchildren will probably appreciate it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
