For the record guys, destruction or tampering of currency is technically legal, it’s tampering meant to increase the value of counterfeit other currency that is illegal. Unrelated to anything else, just a fun fact.

No don’t please. It’s legal if it’s not exploiting metal value (for example, pre-1982 cents) and it’s legal for artistic purposes. HOWEVER, there are two downsides to this. 1: The US government and Mint will see it as high demand and possibly make it a permanent or multi-year issue. 2: The moment numismatists find out there will be a low survival estimate, the value will skyrocket and we will be giving his worthless life even more value :(

Also if the Mint does a low population randomly selected privy-mark issue, holy shit conservative collectors would cream their fucking pants over it 😔

Mmmmm true. That’s a good point. But like what if the value is high and they make it a multi year issue anyway? If all of that happens can I get an army of people to draw an write unflattering things on them?

The Mint’s silver dollars are about $90 for uncirculated and $100 for proof strikes. With a mintage of 400k I don’t think they’d command a premium by default. Thankfully, the Mint hasn’t had much that actually appreciated in value, they usually lose value unless it’s nostalgia baiting or random variants like having a privy mark

Yeah I’ve found that to generally be the case. Frankly I’m not full convinced even an army of people defacing and destroying a Charlie Kirk bill or coin on mass would do all that much to increase its value. If it did it wouldn’t last very long at all imo. I just truly believe people don’t care about him enough. Even his fans to be honest. Maybe that’s me being out of touch with how much his fans care.

Your best bet would be to start with MS-70 and if there’s a proof version do the PF-70 slabbed and graded coins too. Instead of melting, drill a hole in the top like you’re making it a jewelry piece (or the neck if you’re feeling a bit spicy). Whatever you do, do not call the grading service to have them remove the coin from their database. Gotta make it seem like the population is higher than it is until it’s too late
