<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 4006912, member: 77704&quot;]I hate to be a party pooper, but mostly all coins have been recycled. I would are say most coins in collections have been struck from metal which had been melted down and reused time and time again. Look at one example, when English pirates, plundering Spanish gold/silver coinage/ bars under &quot;Royal&quot; directive, the stolen loot was melted down and restruck as English/ British Crowns/ Guineas etc. Most sovereign governments took their worn out gold/ silver/ copper coins/ melted them down/ struck new ones. This is esp. true for gold/ which is very soft/ hence wears down quicker.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
