<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 887721, member: 25270&quot;]I&#039;m pretty new to serious coin collecting so I&#039;m still learning how things work, but I was really surprised recently when I went to my local coin store looking to buy some silver Roosevelt dimes to fill up a coin book and was told that they don&#039;t save them but just melt them all down. First off, I would think people like me would occasionally come in looking to form sets, and you&#039;d want to have them available, but even worse in my opinion is the destruction of all these old coins. I can understand one of those &quot;Cash for Gold&quot; type places that just buys precious metal melting down their coins, but it seems like a coin store should be preserving them, not melting them down. It seems sacrilegious somehow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
