[QUOTE="xCoin-Hoarder'92x, post: 2102329, member: 72758"]I don't hoard our US "nickels" because they aren't bullion at all. And I certainly don't hoard pre-1982 pennies because copper never really moves anywhere on the charts. I hoard European .999 pure nickel circulated coins. Particularly French Francs and Dutch Guilders. For the prices they sell at, they are very affordable. Sometimes I even pay less than they are worth in mixed lots. I might want to add that I began this hoarding when Nickel was already very low in price. When it dipped to $8-$6 per pound I've been doing most hoarding in that price range. I hope it goes to $50/pound one of these days. ;) Yes, I wouldn't melt coins either. I don't understand why people do. It also ruins potential numismatic appeal. The coins I'm collecting/hoarding soon could have additional coin value as well as the nickel metal they contain. Win/win here.[/QUOTE]
