<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1254161, member: 24091&quot;]I won a 1961 proof set as a door prize at the last coin club meeting the other night. It had blotchy tone all over the half, not sure how it got that way. Except for the dime, the other coins were all messed-up too. The local coin dealer gave me $23 to properly &quot;conserve&quot; it. In other words, mine will be bright and shiny soon, in the form of a silver bar in some warehouse once its tossed in the melting pot. At least there was some net benefit from melting it down. Too bad that isn&#039;t the case with modern 50-States clad sets, the coins are worth less than the energy required to melt them down. Of course the quarters can be spent, but takes more than a full set to buy a can of soda in some machines. ooops, getting a little off topic here...,,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
