<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 3566362, member: 58588"]Here's my silver baggie. I got it at the SF mint; can't remember the year, probably 1966 or 1967. It was "change" for all the silver certs we [my brother and I] turned in for 100 oz bars. The bars were crudely cast, 100 oz plus or minus, but alas, weight and fineness were just written on with a felt marking pen, nothing stamped to permanently show its mint origins. So when the Hunt Brothers ran up the silver price, into the melting pot they went, along with most of the granules from the little baggies. Mine weighs about 25 grams, including the envelope, which appears to have a staple under the tape sealing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
