Collecting Silver Dollars

I do have some very nice silver dollars but for some time now I have been intrigued with putting together a complete silver dollar collection in the most worn possible condition - legible date though. I am old enough to have spent Canadian silver dollars at stores and I wonder how many hands a silver dollar, in that condition, had to have passed through and how such a large coin could be carried around in pockets and purses and used countless times in daily transactions. How difficult would it would be to complete such a collection given the BV melting over the last two or three decades?

DEVLEC, did collectors become aware very quickly of the low mintage of the 1948 silver dollars and pull them out of circulation quickly?

Those are nice tripoli I have seen silver dollars that have been dinged up or holed but I don't think I have ever come across any that worn before!

Thank you all for your comments! it is interesting to learn that the 1947s are scarcer than the 1948, as fewer were actually preserved! now I'm on the hunt for the 47s! any advice on where to find a reputable seller?
