<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stroligep, post: 1074768, member: 28684&quot;]I was at a coin dealers a few weeks ago. I saw a set of mercury dimes with 15 dimes I liked.&nbsp; While talking to one of the dealers about them, he said they would only become rarer as mercs are being melted for their silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>A discussion ensued, with the gist being:</p><p><br /></p><p>Are they really melting mercury dimes?&nbsp; Points to make it doubtful:</p><p><br /></p><p>*They know exactly how much silver is in each dime, so why melt it? It&#039;s exchangeable the way it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>*They have bigger fish to fry than mercury dimes. It does cost money to melt the stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, isn&#039;t it doubtful that mercury dimes are becoming scarcer because of melting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
