Re: Melting Coins I'm not sure if you're in Canada, but it's illegal there to melt/deface/destroy coinage.

Re: Melting Coins I'm totally ignorant on this subject, but would the same be true of 90% US silver coin? Since they are legal tender, would it be illegal to melt them down? How about SAE and GAE coins? They have a face value too.

Re: Melting Coins "No restriction in the States except for pennies and nickels." Typical of the government 1.7 cents to make a penny 9.5 cents to make a nickle Just think, every nickle or penny made is instantly added to the national debt.

Re: Melting Coins Why do you want to melt them down??? Theyre worth more in coin form... Unless you know exactly what you are doing, you will have a big glob of 90% silver....or whatever the purity of the coins are.... Then you need it assayed....why bother.....???
