The Great Silver Melt

An interesting article on how truck loads of coins were melted during the 1979-1980 mania and its effect on rare coin values.

The question for those holding bags of high silver content coins during the next great melt-mania will be this:

"Will my coins appreciate in value if nearly all early to mid-20th century coins get melted into oblivion and leave the rest as rarities?"

Silverity.
