wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 10:56 am GR, thanks for sharing that. I vaguely recall well into the '70s it was virtually a Canadian pastime for everyone to pull each and every silver coin out of circulation because it was widely known that silver had a higher value. All those saved stashes resulted in a huge oversupply to the collector market, it would be no different if today every coin minted prior to 2015 for some reason suddenly became collectable. That a lot of that silver excess, lower grade, mass produced sets eventually still finds it's way to the melting pot is a good thing because there's still an oversupply especially in the '60s when hundreds of millions were minted.

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 12:51 pm I would say that most if not all of the people who were around in 1966 and were actually old enough to a) know what was going to happen and b) who were financially capable of socking away a ton of money, are likely at this point deceased being 75 or older (assuming an age of 25 @ 1966). they most likely sold in the early 80's. I don't think many people are sitting on hoards that have been in the closet for the past 50 years. These hoards would have been sold or divided between the heirs over the last few decades.
