The fun for me ended in the 80's when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market. As silver futures climbed to $50 and the price of silver on the street hit $35, all the silver coinage get ripped out of circulation along with most family collections of old tableware, which is why none of these sets have gotten passed down to young couples anymore. Before that, when I was a kid, I could make a good rate of pay going through rolls of dimes, quarters and halves, taking out the silver, replacing the coins, and taking them back to another bank. At least $4 - $5/hr, which was pretty good for a kid in the 70's. My paper route paid about $20/week and it was hard work every day. I could match that in an afternoon of CRH.
