<p>[QUOTE="BrendanB, post: 3148043, member: 81434"]The biggest issue with War Nickels (which carry 80% of the melt value of a 90% silver dime) is the "other" material, magnesium. This is a highly toxic chemical when heated (melted) and limits the actual ability to (safely) melt them to larger refineries. If silver ever were to get back to the $30+ range, War Nickels would likely be flying at $1.50 each (melt would be around $1.70)... Last time silver went crazy ($50) a friend was selling rolls of 35% War Nickels for $90/roll in bulk to a dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
