<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rugrats2001, post: 1922943, member: 18266&quot;]This is amazingly beautiful!</p><p><br /></p><p>This talk about not destroying any coins at all, no matter how common, is really kind of funny.&nbsp; Its not like coins are fundamentally different from any other manufactured goods or artifacts.&nbsp; Look at everything we destroy or throw away every day.&nbsp; Wouldn&#039;t it be cool to have a pair of revolutionary war boots?&nbsp; How about a set of wooden plates from 15th century Holland?&nbsp; The stubs of candles burned in the Vatican 200 years ago?&nbsp; The fact is, for collectors or people interested in history, EVERYTHING becomes scarce and personally valuable if old enough, while the general public laughs at the idea.&nbsp; If someone saves all of their empty cereal boxes for the future, people laugh and call them hoarders, but if a cache of product boxes from Thomas Jefferson&#039;s attic came to light, they would now be priceless artifacts. Things become valuable when supply is reduced to the point that it is below demand. Circulated 1960&#039;s US silver coins will never be valued at over melt, baring a collapse of the silver market, no matter how many you destroy, because supply will never be exceeded by demand.&nbsp; Junk silver is called junk silver for a reason, its only value is in the silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
