Haha this is hilarious. Do we have any science wizzes on the forum who would be able to confirm the feasability of melting 10c coins? Not that I plan on melting 10c coins even if it were feasible

With silver, nickel and copper prices rising a fair bit of late I was wondering how your coin collecting is going there So_cynical.

The thread did encourage me into 1966 coins and some have nearly doubled in price since 2008.
