Don't do it! Chances are you'll melt at least a few coins(and maybe alot) that are worth many times their value in silver. If you want to sell put them up on eBay as small lots and they will still sell for slightly more than their silver value. If you sell them to a melter you'll get maybe 50% of their value as silver cause when you melt them you'll lose alot of metal.
