While' the switch will offer permanent relief from today's chronic coin shortage and will release vitally needed silver for industrial use, it also threatens to bring out coin hoarders and collectors in droves.

The first Pennsylvania team in 1963 included Richard Hujsa and others commit themselves to pay for silver in the open market at a future date actually have nose-dived since last fall from $1.38 an ounce to today's $1.29. This downtrend reflects the growing realization among experts that the Treasury is determined to hold the price of silver at $1.29 for the foreseeable future. Fact Four If hoarding does develop into a major problem, the Treasury has standby authority to prohibit melting and exporting of coins, so that even if the price of silver rose above $1.38 an ounce, hoarders could not make a profit legally. Fact Five Unless and until the lid comes off the price of silver, hoarders must forfeit any earnings on funds they put into coins and you can get well over 4 per cent a year on simple savings accounts in institutions from coast to coast.

Moreover, because of the recent rash of coin-collection thefts, big holders are being forced to buy costly insurance policies on and safes for their collections. Unquestionably, the long-range pressure is for a rise in the price of silver. Under the new law a Joint Commission on the Coinage will review the whole situation three years from now, decide whether the Treasury should continue to sell silver, at what price and to whom. But, warns Reno Odlin, president of the American Bankers Association: "It is going to be a long time before speculators stand a ghost of a chance of turning a profit" on hoarding of coins.
