[QUOTE="Stewart, post: 812519, member: 19834"]Jello, Still a nice looking coin and a good save from the smelter. Wish there was an accurate way to do a census of what is remaining these days. especially after the 79-80 melt. I remember seeing tons come through just one local dealer here in Michigan and I was in his shop on average of two days a week going through his cases to see what would fit in my collection. One day that stands out in mind is when one guy brought in 10 boxes roughly (regular size moving box's) 2 foot high 3 foot long and 1.5 foot wide full of Blue Pack and Brown Box Eisenhower Dollars. They all went to the melter. Made me wonder how many times across the country that scene was being repeated when Silver was between $40.00 and $50.00 bucks an ounce It almost seemed to be a frenzy of activity then.
