<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaryBurke, post: 93492, member: 1874&quot;]More than once on coin forums, I&#039;ve posted about how I was able to go to the bank during my college years and get rolls of BU silver dollars -- Denver, Philadephia, New Orleans and Carson City mints.</p><p><br /></p><p>Up until today, I just assumed that the coins were available because of the times -- 1962 through 1964.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, today, I bought a 2006 Red Book, and started reading.&nbsp; I was very impressed with the new book -- the colors used, the format, etc.&nbsp; Then, I happened on to Page 27.&nbsp; There it was!&nbsp; The &quot;why&quot; I was able to get these beautiful coins.&nbsp; Because of a giant Government release policy during those years.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I learned a great deal today.&nbsp; Just wished I had saved more of those beautiful coins.&nbsp; Only kept about 20.&nbsp; Turned hundreds back into the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, it took me about 40 years to learn why those coins were abundant and readily available.&nbsp; Wish I had known then what I just learned now!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
