<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJK78, post: 923041, member: 19207&quot;]While I was never a young lad in the sixties i think it is an interesting topic so i&#039;ll throw my $.02 in on this.&nbsp; Other then the silver content dropping my guess would be inflation and the fact that back in the sixties and prior a half dollar could actually buy you somthing substantial.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I just did a quick google search on for reference and food prices are a good comparison but a few quick things that cost $.49 back in the 60&#039;s... 3 pounds of apples, a pound of beef chuck roast, 5 pounds of flour, a dozen eggs, a pound of hickory smoked ham, the list goes on...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway my point is that back in the sixties you could send a kid to the store with a fifty cent piece and get something for your money, nowadays you need a $5 bill and probably wouldn&#039;t even get $.50 change back![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
