<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1343884, member: 26302&quot;]I just don&#039;t know I guess. I know coins were melted in 79-80 but most were defective. Most good US coins, (meaning not bent, corroded, holed, etc), were bagged up and sold that way. From what I saw back then foriegn coins were melted more than US coins were, at least here in the US. Even if coins aren&#039;t melted, though, more are lost every year by fires, accidents, and just loss. If just for those losses, coupled with growth of collectors, and some day I believe halves and mercuries at least will start carrying numismatic premiums similar to dollars today. You have never been able to buy silver dollars at melt in the last 30+ years I have been around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
