<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 206779, member: 7424&quot;]On the contrary. Yes it is illegal to melt, but not illegal to hold on to them. There was a similair law back then when silver was rising above the silver coins face. The government wanted people to circulate them for commerce, not melt them down. Same today with cents. People back then would have stopped holding on to them because it was illegal just to melt them, then they probably would be kicking them selves today. I think the law was passed on melting silver coins, but I&#039;m not so sure. What I think coinlover is saying is copper can skyrocket, and copper might become like silver. People can still hold on to them, as long as there is no intent of you melting them this present time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> BTW, thanks for the heads up. I have about 8 rolls of copper cents. Been saving them for about two months. Had the same idea as you lol. Take care.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
