<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 4695505, member: 90913&quot;]I&#039;ve put off asking these two questions for awhile cause they&#039;re not technical.&nbsp; But now and then, they keep coming back to me.&nbsp; I know there are a few senior members here and I&#039;m wondering - if you don&#039;t mind - if I can pick your brains about your memories of the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; 1964 Silver</p><p>Did the government make a general announcement about that year being the last year that the half dollars, quarters, and dimes were to be minted in silver? Or did the announcement come after the fact? Did hoarding begin right away or was the public mostly indifferent since silver was only around $1 an ounce?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. 1986 Silver Eagle</p><p>When this was released, what was the general reaction? Was there disappointment that the design was just a rehash of the earlier Walking Liberty Half Dollar?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just curious. Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
