<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 749229, member: 9866&quot;]Actually, the U.S. did remove silver coins for circulation. In the mid to late 1960s, the public was afraid that the new copper-nickel clad coins would supersede the older silver coins in circulation, so the mint assured the public that both coin types would circulate together freely for years to come, all the while using machinery to remove and melt millions of silver coins. Combine this with the mass melting of silver coins caused by the antics of the Hunt brothers, and you come to the conclusion that 1950s-1960s &quot;common date&quot; silver coins are probably not all that common. I&#039;d be willing to bet that our neutral friends, the Swiss, did the same as our government after the silver was removed from their coinage. I believe that was 1968, but I could be off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
