<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 3496001, member: 24633&quot;]I have to chuckle just a little bit because 10 years ago when I would argue the issue of the true value of Lincoln cents sold for melting, most everyone told me I was crazy....that I didn&#039;t know what I was talking about. Well, after nearly a decade of being ridiculed for my belief, I notice that nobody has stepped up in this thread to tell me that I&#039;m wrong. It appears that my message is getting through.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, Michael, your $6 guesstimate is probably closer to being correct. I just threw the $7.50 amount out there as an approximation, expecting once more to get an argument from others. Still, we are both just expressing an opinion because we both know that it is still illegal to melt pennies and nickels, but shouldn&#039;t we also take into consideration what the smelter would be willing to pay? Right now, if we want to sell junk silver, doesn&#039;t the buyer typically offer a price that is usually 10%-20% below the actual price? Shouldn&#039;t we apply this known fact to a buyer of these pennies?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just throwing this tidbit out there so others will have a chance to argue once more.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
