<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 286812, member: 4552"]Not sure but I think there is a web site called realcent.forum.com or something like that. They have a forum on metals and basically discuss the melt values of coins. Also, depending on where you live there are not so reputable organizations that will take coins and melt them down for the metal content and have no idea of coin values as coins. The problem is those places basically purchase metals by the pound, not ounces. You would have to have a substantial amount of cents (pennies) to make it worth them purchasing them from you. Usually they buy Copper from electricians that borrow wires from job sites and then they throw in cents and anything else made of copper. </p><p>Basically this is a stupid thing since many of the coins lost due to melting may be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But then those that do this could care less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
