off center find

you mean like, your not "allowed" to melt silver coins, or its not possible?

b/c last year I found this silver coin in a parking lot, it has a plastic case around it and says Eckards or something on the front. on the back, it says something like 'one ounce pure silver' . its heavy.
should i sell it or melt it or neither?

not allowed to melt any u.s. legal tender coin

 

hmm....so how much is an ounce of .999 pure silver worth?

 

About $13.

 

Last I knew, melting silver coins was legal, the ban on melting nickels and pennies is recent.
