In 1963 the minimum wage in the U.S. was $1.25 per hour. Quarters were 90% silver.

5 silver quarters currently selling for $49.50.

We don't have an economic problem, we have a money problem.

So basically minimum wage would need to be $100,000/year to match 2500/year from 1963?

Assuming both were paid with 1963 quarters?

Junk silver is looking good
