    Worth melt. 😁

    Kidding aside, I know dealers selling back of melt because wholesalers aren't buying. They are, of course, buying even farther back of melt.

    Real coin collectors are fundamentally people who collect coins. One either gets that or he categorizes other people and thinks his own opinions are worthy of delegitimizing others like a jerk.

    I think that's why I find myself looking more to foreign coins..

    I will probably "keep the best and melt the rest" (depending on spot price)

    Well, I'm an art collector first. Coins are just one of the art forms I collect. There is no need to get huffy about my post is there?

    I remember handling bags of new 1964 Halves back in the Spring of 1964. It does not seem that long ago.

    Many coin collectors are nostalgia enthusiasts. The coins are a direct route to times gone by yet fondly remembered.

    Real coin collectors collect real (genuine) coins.

    Real old coin collectors collect real old coins.

    If you had said that, you wouldn't have gotten scolded. You either get that or you don't.
