Message:: [QUOTE="BustCoinageDude, post: 1039699, member: 12004"]10gary:  You have a point regarding the economic situation.  I think this is also responsible for more silver and other esoteric stuff being in circulation. The dynamics of this go beyond " the kid raiding his dad's whitman folder to buy a pack of gum" syndrome.  I think people are raiding their own "collectible" stash.  This would explain why I've gotten silver certificates in change, why I've also been able to hassle the bank teller to give me some rolls of Kennedy's, and all four rolls were 40% silver, and one roll even had a couple of franklins in them.  I suspect some grandma came in to cash them in for our modern fed notes, to buy bread and milk.  A hint to everybody here:    Be nice to your head teller at the branch of bank where you do business, butter her up real good. In exchange, rolls of halves and "unusual" stuff , you get! And not some other guy. Butter her up this xmas, form a bond.Bring some chocolate, well worth the silver and wheat I get from her in exchange for face$ The worse thing is to drive from bank to bank looking for the mother load, the best thing is a relationship and someone on the inside who will give you stuff for face value.  That's a relationship folks.[/QUOTE]
