<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3668207, member: 66"]Yes the silver coins that the government removed from circulation between 1965 and 1970 were melted down and became part of the "Strategic stockpile" which they then sold back to the people in the form mostly of silver eagles between 1986 and 1998. (Since then the government has had to buy silver on the open market to make into silver eagles to sell at slightly over cost.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
