yeah - ever since I was a kid - my grandfather sorted the silver out from circulation and kept it in a big "hope chest" at the end of his bed. Every time I visited - he would kick open the chest and tell me to take a fist full of "booty"... I love those memories.
Unfortunately - when the "Hoyt" (?) brothers cornered the market in the earlier 80's... I sold all of my silver for melt. What an idiot I was... BUT... I threw some awesome parties back in those days... I think... It is hard to remember everything... LOL!
