<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 56015, member: 1674&quot;]This isn&#039;t quite true.&nbsp; Copper and nickel are internationally traded comodities and both have value.&nbsp; Now they aren&#039;t worth what the face value of the coin is, but circulating coinage never has been (except for short periods immediatly followed by weight changes in the coins).&nbsp; Do you remember reading the PCGS article a while back about the micro o Morgan dollars that turned out to be contemporary counterfeits?&nbsp; IIRC, it said that many of them had a composition of 94% or more silver because when the coins were made silver was much less valuable than the face value of the coins being faked.&nbsp; This is the way it has always been, circulating coins are supposed to be &quot;worthless&quot; except for their printed face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>When its all said and done, though, collect what you like!&nbsp; I enjoy the fact that silver is the most reflective of all metals and so that is what I collect. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I think thay are pretty![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
