Day after day, long lines of anxious coin buyers form outside the Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C. Each is hoping that his $1,000 purchase of an unopened bag of 1,000 U.S. Silver Dollars will result in what amounts to a modern day treasure trove worth many thousands of dollars. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The outpouring of silver dollars from the U.S. Treasury continues at a staggering pace until it is finally brought to a halt on March 26, 1964. On that day, the Secretary of the Treasury, C. Douglas Dillon, suspends the exchange of silver dollars for silver certificates. Americans can no longer use their greenbacks for the one-to-one purchase of silver dollars from the Treasury! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>to read the rest</p><p><a href="http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
