Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Concerning the lost coins, I read somewhere that as the Large Cents
were being pulled from circulation because of the new smaller cent,
barrels of them were sent to refineries to be turned into church and
school bells.
Good read and I bought something too!
You need that awesome 1861-C for your half eagle set.
Was that it?

The fact is – those 95% of shield nickels struck really did go somewhere. There is a right answer, or a right series of answers. I just don't know what those answers are. And thinking about it makes my head hurt.
.............Jars? Landfills?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

So where did 97% of the large cents go?
Used as washers on slate roofs?
Large cents were melted from 1857 to 1861 in exchange for small cents (all of the 1861 production was due to the large cent - small cent exchange).
CN cents were melted into Shield and Liberty nickels and 3c nickels.
Pre-1874 cents were melted into post-1874 cents.
Pre-1853 silver was melted into Post-1853 silver.
Pre-1904 Morgan dollars were melted into silver, sold to India and then replaced with more silver dollars in 1921-1925
What will we ever do with the SBA dollars?

As someone who took up metal detecting a few years ago, I can also say that many old coins were lost over the years and are still waiting to be found.
