<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rld14, post: 505091, member: 16133&quot;]Picked in the 80s?&nbsp; Try picked in the 60s.&nbsp; My mother who was in High School when the clad switchover happened remembers everyone hoarding silver back in 1964 and into 1965, she remembers that when she graduated high school in June of 66 it was almost a joke that all the formerly silver coins were brand new.&nbsp; Also she remembers half dollars basically disappearing from circulation.&nbsp; Apparently the shiny new clad coinage made the silver coinage really stand out, making it even easier for people to yank it from circulation.&nbsp; Plus, there were a lot of circulating Mercury Dimes, Walkers, Franklins, those were all grabbed easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
