Benji - the US Mint and Government prohibits the melting of coins. I think they made a big announcement about it back in January or so. Specially for pennies and nickles as the raw metal is worth more than the coin.

That "interim rule" expired April 14th, 2007. Melt away...

I am sure that he will not dump them at the bank! I have had long discussion about that! He now understands more of what I have been saying after reading all of your input.

Thank you so very much for all your help. I am really starting to enjoy this site. Still working on photos of items.

It will all come out in the wash soon or later

But, Thank you all very much!

As already noted, try ebay. Also, as already noted the USPostal Flat Rate box is $8.95 for up to 70 pounds. So on ebay let them bid and don't let it go for less than double to triple face value and make sure the buyers pay for postage, insurance.
To bad your in Kansas. If you were in Illinois I would say take them all to one of the many coin shows we have here and you could probably make some real money.

I wanted to let you all know that I talked to him on the phone and read to him all of your comments. Looks like with all your help, he seems very Illinois. Will just have to keep you updated.

Again "Thank You" all.

Have a wonder 4th.

The "interim rule" was made official a couple days before it was to expire so it is still illegal to melt one and five cent pieces.
