Cowboy90 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 07/18/2013 4:26 pm I got this Morgan dollar and it has a big scratch in the shape of a t or x on it. Some guy said its only worth melt value because of this. That seems unrealistic that a couple scratches could automatically do that. Here's a picture: Report this Post to the Staff

Nathancrh1 Pillar of the Community Canada 785 Posts	Posted 07/18/2013 5:17 pm You shouldn't melt it. If you sell it on ebay or a coin dealer as is, they will know it is 90 persent silver and would be happy to buy it from you melt. But if you melt it, it will take time and effort and you will be left with a big lump of silver witch know one other than you would be able to tell what metal and purety it is. Moral of the story is don't melt it Report this Post to the Staff
