Message:: [QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 1163028, member: 29452"]As with anyone I started collecting as a kid. The family would get me those 1 oz englehard silver rounds. My grandfather pulled every silver coin in his collection from circulation and from his local bank he's been going to since 1946! I think he is one of the ones who got "lucky" in this area as a teller for many years would set aside any silver for him at the bank. I had recently had a chance to really go through his collection with him. I asked if he bought anything he had, and he said "boy that teller at the bank gave me everything I have, the rest I got in change." When I saw his one of his boxes filled with Walking Liberty's I nearly fell right there in the kitchen. It spooked my grandmother. I asked my grandfather if he knew the current prices of silver. Let's just say he is one happy camper right now. And he is NOT selling. I don't think I would either after collecting a lifetime of silver coins. The best thing is he didn't have to pay for any of it. What "regular silver change" can do.[/QUOTE]
