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.

No restriction in the States except for pennies and nickels.

"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.....???
