<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 52896, member: 941&quot;]Even modern coins such as the Lincoln cent are melted down after they have had their run in circulation (in the case of Lincoln Cents the average time in circulation is about 20-25 years!!!). Coins are waffled as a means of cancellation before they are melted down. The only difference between the modern coins and the earlier silver issues is the intrinsic value of the metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the question remains, were the coins simply not cancelled before melting in the past or was a different method used?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
