You already asked this question & got given a host of answers. WHY are you re asking? Your not going to get any better answers by repeatedly asking the same question over & over clogging up the place needlessly.

Just get the stupid coins appraised then cash them in on face value – Duh! it ain’t rocket science!!..

At present the only coins that are illegal to melt or export are cents and nickels. At present there are no laws stopping one from melting gold or silver coinage. The Treasury department has the right to issue bans on melting coins as they see fit but only use that power when a problem comes up such as the cent and nickel at this time.
