<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3099719, member: 66"]Why would issuing silver dollars in the mid 60's have made a difference? at the time there were all the Morgan and peace dollars you wanted available at the banks up until around 1967 or 68 and no one wanted them. The ONLY reason people suddenly started wanting them was because they had more than dollars worth of silver in them. It was like getting free money. If they had started putting out clad Peace dollars in 1965 they would have just sat in the vaults just like the Ikes and SBA's did. The only time in US history when a US silver dollar was practical was between 1840 and 1850.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
