1996 corvette coupe silver model?

My bf has a 1996 corvette coupe. Silver. He takes it to cruise ins and car shows. Recently he has made a poster type thing with specifics for the car. I would love to find him a die cast model or an assemble yourself model of this car. Can someone help me find one? It’s a 1996 corvette coupe sebring silver in color. NOT the convertible. Thanks everyone!
I checked ebay and several corvette based collectors websites.

Can you melt silver peace dollars?

I want to know if you cant melt peace dollars for the silver. It wont be used to sell as silver i need silver to cast. this is the cheapest way to find silver. the value of a peace dollar now is cheaper than its silver content…and im not talking on ebay, those prices are crazy. But i cant seem to find if its legal or not. Some people say its illegal to melt coins, are those just new coins? (ex, pennies for copper) please help

2. whos telling the truth is it legal to melt 192x’s coins or not??? and 3. the value of a poor quality peace dollar is about 2 bucks…the silver value not counting the copper is $10

hazelnut asked:


Hope someone who has expertise in gold can give me detailed info. A million thanks in advance. What is the difference between rose gold, white gold n yellow gold? What is the difference between 14k, 24k, 18k, 9ct, 10ct etc? how much are their current value? For example, how much is a exquisite 14k rose gold pendant (approx 2cm long) really worth (Quote the currency)? I see very great difference in pricing for rose gold chain on ebay for example? Why is that so? Are they much cheaper than those in retail stores? Gold filled/gold plated/gold bonded means that metal cast with a layer of gold right? Why are they so cheap? I bought one previously and the gold layer (seller claimed ‘double-coated with 14k gold) wore off after one day(I perspire easily though not profusely)?
