[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 96960, member: 4367"]Well Mike, here is what I think happened. You gotta realize I'm just one of the uneducated mass's who collect for the fun of it. If I were to offer a hypothesis I'd say all of the silver which would have gone into coinage probably went into rebuilding the (WHITE-HOUSE) after the British burned it. Remember, I'm just a RedBook kind of guy. Just now (past year) started branching out beyond the friendly confines of it's familiar pages. ;) My collection has been dormant for about 23 years and only got my first slabbed coin back in March. It (my collection) was put away partially out of disgust after having 20 silver dollars (1921 Peace, 4 Morgans, and 15 or so Seated) stolen and sold by an ex-girlfriend in 1982 (who stayed at my apt) while I was as Basic Training. I didn't unbox what was leftover until about a year ago. A lot had changed with the hobby for sure... Bone[/QUOTE]
