<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LakeEffect, post: 4700070, member: 43201&quot;]I was born in 1958 so I was too young to remember 1964 first hand, but I do remember by the late 1960&#039;s, people were saving silver coins. Not <i>panic</i> hoarding, but more a novelty as they realized that silver had been replaced by worthless base metal. I recall friends and family plucking wheat pennies and buffalo nickels from circulation as a novelty as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1986, special mint issues were still a new thing, so I remember the new eagle being met with general excitement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
