<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 724912, member: 4552&quot;]There is supposed to be some law about melting Silver coins I think but just as most laws, greatly misunderstood and ignored. Entire web sites dedicated to the hoarding of Copper coins for melting purposes. Many jewlers melt silver coins all the time. They can make more selling specialty items over the coins. The problem here is in many instances of melting coins for the metal ends up distroying coins of great value but due to ignorance, it still happens. Try picturing 14D Lincoln Cents being melted with bulk quantities of Copper coins, wire, piping, etc. Picture a 42/41 Mercury Dime melted for less than a dollar. </p><p>Naturally the metal recycler people just really don&#039;t care nor in most instances don&#039;t know. </p><p>And as to paper money, ever note the people at most stores when you give them currency. They now swipe it with some kind of marker. Nice to leave that on some valuable ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
