<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1030040, member: 26302&quot;]The ratio was not &quot;relaxed&quot;. If you go back and read US coinage history this ratio changed based upon changing exchange rates in the world mainly due to US metal finds. Silver became more valuable after the US gold rush, silver depreciated when the Comstock load was producing. Look at 1853 and 1873 coins and why they changed sizes. ALso look at gold versus silver content of our denominations when we produced both. This will demonstrate we did not &quot;relax&quot; any standards while our coins were made of these metals. The US always had the highest reputation in terms of our coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
