Flaw Seen In Sale Of Dollars By Government
Washington lawmakers on the House Banking Committee warned a plan to sell the government’s last three million silver dollars could invite abuse. Rep Fernand St Germain and colleagues pressed coin dealers and Treasury official Robert Wallace as the Johnson administration opposed selling the coins at face value to the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association for fundraising. A California dealer said the three million coins held catalogue value near 8 million but could fetch about 4 million over five years.
