<p>[QUOTE="mumu, post: 924307, member: 24620"]Ok I misunderstood which coinage you were assigning the good/bad to. BUT even so I dont think the law applies here. Gresham's law's context is the survival of a coin, as in the competition of its commercial use and acceptance as tender. Hoarding, to me, is not the same thing. In the case of hoarding due to silver content is no different than a coin leaving circulation due to hoarding for no other reason than that the coin is pretty. Again this would be a circumstancial phenomena. Additionally, and though I am not 100% sure of this, I do believe that the half dollar lost popularity long before the Kennedy mint did it not? Coins were still 90% across the board during the Frankling half era. Some coins never make it for one reason or another. The silver dollar of the morgan, peace and even now in the clad era has never really made it to commerce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
