<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 8531328, member: 74863&quot;]I do remember as a kid that sometime in 1965 when silver was taken out of circulation and clad coinage started. I was only 11 years old and I walked from my house about 9 or 10 blocks to get to the local coin store. Never really wide anything but I wanted to see the store and what was happening with silver disappearing from circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember looking at his inventory and I was amazed that a silver dollar, like a Morgan or a Peace dollar, was for sale. After all Morgan and Peace dollars circulated. Even at that young age I was given silver dollars. I handled them at least once a week. And this guy had them for sale. The highest price I remember on one was $3.85. I couldn’t believe that anyone would pay 385 for something that was only a dollar. Now I understand and I wish they were $3.85 so I can buy as many as I want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
