bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 06/11/2015 4:58 pm Wait. I'm not sure how this is related to, the "Demise of Circulation finds"? Most of us know about the silver switch in 1964. This is an interesting presentation but confusing. IMHO Report this Post to the Staff

Not only did they eliminate silver, they stopped making mint sets and took mintmarks off coins for a while. Now, most people into the hobby are really stackers.

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 7:43 pm Of course, the appearance of grandchildren and thugs looting coin collections and spending the coins face value has restored some circulation finds -- you just hate to see them. I had a cashier in a liquor store tell me about the IHC from the 80s that he received at the cash register in really nice condition. Report this Post to the Staff

He's just talking about the current state of numismatics, and how there is a lack of new collectors, not circulation finds. Edited by Rollsearcher37 06/12/2015 8:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 9:50 pm A bit on the subject, to be honest I've found more of my target coins, silver, by the thousands, in the last seven years, than I ever did back in the '70's. From circulated rolls. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
