<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 29664, member: 824&quot;]Remember in the late 1970&#039;s when the Hunt Brothers out of Texas were trying to corner the silver market?&nbsp; They had a good run...then BOOM, silver fell from over $50 per ounce to levels below $10 an ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember those days because the local pawn shop had full page advertisements that stated, will pay you 2000% face value for pre-1964 dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars...then 2500%, then 3000%, and up and up!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was a paper boy and through two plus years of collecting money, I saved rolls of common date silver coins (1960 to 1964) really worth nothing until silver started taking off.&nbsp; When the pawn shop ad hit 4000% payoff, I took in my rolls of qaurters and dimes (I didn&#039;t see halfs or dollars as I collected money door to door), and cashed out.&nbsp; Wow...they gave me $4 for a dime and $10 for a quarter.&nbsp; I thought I was rich!&nbsp; I bought a brand-new top of the line Schwin bicycle, felt on top of the world, and had extra cash in my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Dad told I was nuts becuase silver was going higher and it did...but not for long, for soon after that silver market came crashing down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could it happen again?...maybe, but&nbsp; it would take lots of searching and serious dollars...maybe more so than the actual coins may be worth after they get acquired.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
