The silver buying mania then was instantly met with a selling mania of lines of people stretching around the block outside of pawn and coin shops, which demolished the silver bull for a decade. You may want to reconsider your premise and compare what happened to the Hunts' hoard against what happened to Palladium in 2001... I don't recall hearing or seeing hoards of people lining up to empty out their family Palladium stockpiles... ;)
