I've seen these often on ebay, did they really exchange Silver certs for this, or is it a ruse? http://cgi.ebay.com/1-Silver-Certif...3508291QQihZ018QQcategoryZ40032QQcmdZViewItem
I have no idea if it is true but I would like to think that it was LOL also a lovely talking point when showing off your silver cert notes sort of going and this is what it was worth
During the closing days of the redemption period in the late 1960s, Silver Certificates were redeemed using silver granules like those in this auction. There is no way to prove those in the auction were actually part of this process, however. Even if they were, they are simply silver and should not sell for anything significantly more than their bullion value.
