Loading ...In 1964 I was 12 years old with a paper route. I was already a coin collector, encouraged by my dad. I remember LBJ announcing they were taking the silver out of coinage because “it was too valuable to use for money”. Even at that young age I thought… WTF?? and began aggressively collecting real silver coins. One of my paper route customers gave me a Christmas present of a Morgan dollar when I came to collect their bill. I was overjoyed, and she was pleased that I knew what it was! I still have it at the head of my collection.
