With that in mind, I can understand why they are worth so much and with what someone said about many being melted because they had too high of a silver content, that helps explain the prices even better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
