<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 372867, member: 66&quot;]Sorry I misunderstood what you meant when you said the gold was gone many years before the silver was used up, because the mint has never really had &quot;reserves&quot;.&nbsp; They always got their gold and silver from the treasury stockpiles back in the years (post 1873)&nbsp; when gold and silver was coined for circulation.&nbsp; Then when they started striking the gold and silver commems and bullion coins again the silver came from the government stockpiles (until it was depleted), but the gold came from new purchases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
