  2. yep, without assay, you'll find it difficult to sell it.....why should a dealer hassle with it when there is a flood of junk silver coins around with known silver content

    When the Gummint outlaws pennies, only criminals will have pennies.

  5. Committing felonies is always an option... but I'd need a much better motivator than just monetary gain.

    What about shipping the coins outside canada, then melting them down there? You'd be committing no crime in that case.

  8. Guys, not a good place to have this type of discussion, even if you are just talking out of you arse.

    Smelting it anywhere is an offense. Think about it. If it was ok to do somewhere else, thenprinting US bills and circulating them abroad would be ok too.
