wacky1980 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 like i said, i don't want to tell you you're wrong. maybe i'm wrong, and i've just never happened across any documentation for that series of bank notes. but it's something i would be really interested to see proof on, whenever you're done plugging the delaware with your giant hog of course.

wacky1980 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hey I just had my 70s collection of silver coins looked and appraised while i'm being that guy... what 1970's silver coins appraised at $3500? is it ten pounds of proofs or something? foreign coins perhaps?

It was around 5lbs but I had some rare silver dollars that the appraiser wanted to give me 200 each I have 20 of them and I'm not parting with them yet Copper coins now that I had 80lbs worth majority of them were Canadian which I'm going to melt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have copper wiring I'm going to melt as well But the amount I have on wire is about $600 worth after I strip the cover off of it The coins are before the 70s only the silver dollars are worth more and that's because of a screw up on the design.

wacky1980 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 you're not supposed to pull the copper out of your walls when you get foreclosed, just sayin'. also, it's easier (and faster!) to just melt/burn the insulators off. just don't do it upwind of a police station. so you have silver dollars (peace? morgan?) with mint errors, eh? die cracks, or what?
