[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5289846, member: 115909"]Yesterday I stopped by my local coin shop and he had this display thing (pic below) for sale and I thought it was really cool so I bought it. It show’s you what the $1 silver certificate would actually get you in physical silver. Sure everyone knows Morgan & Peace Dollars were swapped for silver certificates but I think it’s cool that it shows 1oz of actual silver granules too. So in 1968 you could end up taking your silver certificate to a bank and expect silver dollars but get these instead. I’m not sure why the Mint didn’t just melt the granules into bars and make more silver dollars. Idk I just think it’s cool to have the silver certificate and all it’s possible intrinsic derivatives of silver throughout American history. [ATTACH=full]1221980[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
