<p>[QUOTE="David Allen, post: 2124865, member: 74249"]Wow. How strange. One cannot melt down cents? But one can melt down bullion? Ok. As for why melt it down, I am staring at six hundred quarters, two hundred plus half dollars, more than a hundred dimes, one hundred morgan and liberty dollars, and picking through it. I even have a recognizable 1820 Large Cent. NEAT! I'm having a hell of a time enjoying my father's "collection" but it is really picking through a mass of material for needles in a haystack. I am really learning to love the process of discovery and collection, but I do not want to just sell it willy nilly. He spent years collecting this stuff and I will honor that, my siblings be darned. I guess I could sell at a coin show and upgrade coins from the bulk, which is what I am hearing, that is the way to go. Pick a series and pursue it. I also have a box of 400 hundred indian pennies. Geez. Not to mention the silver certificates. 1's, 2's and 5's as early as the 1920's. Okay, as of this posting I think I have my work cut out for me. Too much fun applies here and I appreciate your feedback![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
