<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 4859315, member: 58588&quot;]Back in the late 60&#039;s, I was buying $20&#039;s at the going price pf $40 each, so there was a potential profit of $5/coin. Five dollars was a not insignificant sum in 1960&#039;s Lebanon. In the 1979 Hunt Brothers silver run-up, gold went along for the ride and I was selling them a half dozen at a time to a major dealer at $600 each. One day he says two of that last bunch were fake; I offer to take them back. He says, too late, they are already in the melting pot, they were full weight and fineness so no problem. They were melting just about everything at that time. He had a box of miscellaneous silver for sale at spot. After a week, anything that didn&#039;t sell went off to the refiner. i saved a George Jensen serving spoon and a SF mint stamped 20 oz bar from the melting pot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
