<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverSurfer, post: 743702, member: 21603&quot;]Truth be told about 90% silver junk coins.&nbsp; Nobody actually melts them down.&nbsp; If you sell them to a smelter, the smelter is more likely to sell them back to a coin dealer, who can make an immediate profit for the smelter and himself.&nbsp; If the smelter decided to melt the silver coins, the value would be less and the cost of energy to smelt it wouldn&#039;t be worth it.&nbsp; So, while bullion has it&#039;s value in the content of the metal, industries aren&#039;t going to use 90% silver coins when 99.99% silver is still so readily available on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yet, people still buy 90% silver coins just as if they were 99.99% silver.&nbsp; The same would hold true for the copper pennies.&nbsp; Nobody really would want to melt them down....they&#039;ll be worth much more as curios from a time long past with a guarantee of quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
