Treasury tightens silver controls after Coinage Act shifts metal use
The 1965 act removed silver from dimes and quarters and cut half dollar silver to 40 percent. The Treasury barred melting and export of all silver coins and limited future sales to legitimate domestic businesses. A price surge overseas followed, with London trading above $1.71. Congress considers steps to free silver behind certificates and set redemption deadlines, aiming to sustain a $1.29 ounce price. The department holds 54.9 million ounces free and expects domestic use of about 80 million ounces this year.
