Question by xx3: Is It Illegal To Melt Old US Silver Coins?
I have a lot of old morgan dollars, peace dollars, dimes, quarters etc. I would like to have a few silver rings made from the silver content. Is it illegal to melt old US coins?
these are junk coins that I bought in a lot for really cheap. I am a coin collector and have exaples in mint state condition.
