<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1252091, member: 25270"]Another thing: With the high price of silver I've been focusing on world coins lately since it's something I can do rather cheaply. Mostly that means buying base metal coins, but I was curious what the coin shop did with the foreign silver since I never see it for sale. They told me they melt everything foreign, and I mean actually melt it, not just use that terminology. Are they going through looking at every coin and checking for key dates or condition? Of course not. They don't have time or the knowledge, so it all goes into the melt bucket and gets destroyed. That bothers me too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
