mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 1:13 pm I'm trying to decide what to do with all the 1964 nickles, 1965,1967 quarters. obviously I don't get as many 60's coins as I do 80's and up, but geez. If I get 100 sixties pieces, 80 of them will be these dates. I'm thinking maybe start at the lower corner of the room and glue them to the wall like wallpaper. I'll probably cash them in though (I can still get face value) Report this Post to the Staff

Thomcollects Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 1:49 pm I'd keep the nickels, but I keep all nickels for the nickel content. Spend the quarters or convert them into rolls of nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 2:04 pm is the melt value of nickels exceeding face value? Report this Post to the Staff

I was just goofing. When I got back after the responce, your reply was gone...so I deleted mine (I think) because it didn't make sense. I'm sure they have their reasons...No Biggie Report this Post to the Staff

No, not yet but metals have been on the rise again. Currently a nickels melt value is 4.17 Cents. About a year ago it was twice that. The melt value of cents and nickels were about twice what they are now a year or so ago. They are rising again. There is a cool site that lists the melt value of coins daily that we aren't allowed to mention or post a link too here! Report this Post to the Staff
wetglaswegian Member United States 917 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 3:59 pm Im guessing that would be because melting circulating coinage is illegal ? Report this Post to the Staff
SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 07/27/2009 4:28 pm Actually, only melting Nickels and Cents is illegal. The melting of clad coinage is pointless, as it is worth more face than metals. The melting of US coins here is illegal, but I throw all Canadian copper cents and non-steel nickels into a bucket, as they are better than face value at melt-and legal. I know a guy who took a whole bunch of UK bronze "new pennies" and melted them down to cast for jewelry. They cost less than bulk bronze. Report this Post to the Staff
