<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 25696818, member: 77639&quot;]The legality of melting coins becomes irrelevant if there is enough profit in it.&nbsp; Once melted it’s hard to prove where the metal came from. Tons of U.S. silver coins were melted in the ‘60s, and many of the silver bars were exported before the Treasury Dept. stopped production of 90% silver coins.&nbsp; For silver, melt value didn’t have to get much over face for melting to be profitable.&nbsp; For base metals, the overhead costs of acquiring, melting, selling, and transport become a much bigger factor.&nbsp; For base metals, melt value will likely need to be several times face to cover overhead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
