<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 26407187, member: 25270"]First I love the stamps that you got. Second, I feel like American dealers don't usually melt coins because they are easy to sell because they are a recognizable amount and people like to buy them that way. Like there are people who buy silver to prepare for a time when they think money will be worthless and silver will be used for purchases, and they want to have it in spendable pieces, not big bars. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that a lot of dealers will buy foreign silver and just melt it down and I think that's the real tragedy because they neither know nor care what they have. I'm sure so many collectible coins have met their fate there. One coin shop near me is like this. The foreign silver they buy just goes in a melt bucket and it goes to the refinery. I hate to think about what goes in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
