"I see the book Big Silver Melt available for sale on this site. It is a little known book written decades ago that is a FANTASTIC read. I've had the book a long time and will NOT surrender my copy of the book. Some of the war stories are incredible. There is talk, for instance, about a guy pulling up to someone saying "Buddy all your tires are flat." That was because he was hauling THAT MUCH SILVER. There is a story about how Canadian silver coins were kept on hand in case of surprise inspections by the authorities. And an amazing story about a car that caught fire because it had so much silver in it! There is much more including commentary about coins that you might feel are common, but which have been melted so much that they are surprisingly scarce. This is a MUST OWN book for anyone interested in 90% silver in a significant way."
