When I was a kid in the late 1950s early 1960s it was not unusual to get old (at the time) mercury dimes or standing liberty quarters in change. Even silver war Jefferson nickels were common. Collecting wheat cents was very popular with young and old. Not many people knew what the new clad 1965 silverless coins meant. I'm 66 and been collecting for 60 years. I could go on and on about coin stories. I have spent real silver Morgan dollars at face value. So what I have seen happen, to silver, in a partial lifetime is really cool, but there is going to be an exponential explosion in silver prices to big to imagine, in the future. I hope to experience it too, although it my be very painful.
