<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1311222, member: 33215"]I'm not sure many people remember, but before 1964, a Silver Coins' weight was based on the price of silver. When 10c would go to a refinery and you would get 10c in silver. A coin back then was actually worth it's face value compared to its metal value. Nothing like our 1.83c metal weight dimes. If we were to get a $5 coin, it would have to be bigger than a dime, but slightly smaller than a quarter for me to be happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
