<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 5199447, member: 56370&quot;]My understanding is that sometime around the 1876-1877 timeframe, faith in US currency was fully restored.&nbsp; Silver and gold coins went back into circulation, and all coins and paper currency traded at par.&nbsp; Silver mining entered its heyday during this time which drove the price of silver below coins’ face value.&nbsp; It didn’t go back above face value until silver coins were phased out in the 1960’s.&nbsp; I’m not sure if prior to the end of the gold standard, the market price of gold ever went above the $20.67 per ounce officially set by the US government.&nbsp; That would have been the only thing to cause gold certificates or coins to be worth more than silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
