[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2280162, member: 71510"]In the late 70's there was a "silver crisis" and a huge run on Silver. It went up to $50 an ounce for a short time as the Hunt Brothers were buying it up at light speed in an attempt to corner the market (among others). People started clamoring for silver - and it was also the end of the Ikes - so people started hoarding knowing what the Morgans and Peace dollars were worth. There are also some old bank bags that had mixed Morgans, Peace and even Ikes (not often) but the bags are still out there.[/QUOTE]
