<p>[QUOTE=&quot;isaiah58, post: 1922738, member: 29459&quot;]I&#039;m trying to understand this. The actual nickel content in a nickel is about 5 cents worth at the spike in the market.&nbsp; When things adjust it will be back to 3 cents worth. To a refiner that&#039;s worth 2 cents. Most refiners have contracts with miners so have no interest in smelting nickle currency, even if they could. </p><p><br /></p><p>For copper pennies it is better percentage wise but the cost to smelt and recast is prohibitive.&nbsp; Current 1oz rounds come to $12 per pound versus the $3 per pound actual value. I&#039;ll stick with 5% to 8% premiums on silver and gold than 400% on base metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
