<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 3416338, member: 58588"]Back when they first announced the end of redemption in silver was coming up, my brother and I bought all the silver certs we could at $1.05 per note. Then we took them up to the SF mint and traded them in for silver bars [100 oz, + or -; alas, nothing stamped on them; weight and fineness written by felt marker] at $1.29/oz. "Change" was little manila envelopes with one oz in them. People called us idiots ["save them, the notes will be rare"], but we finally dumped them at about $20/oz. [On the east coast you went to the Treasury to do this.] I still have one of those little manila envelopes of silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
