In response to the hoarding, the mint decided to double the production volumes compared to the previous year.

During this time, the value of the Half Dollar as molten metal exceeded its worth as cast coinage.

This led to a phenomenon where people began hoarding the coins, recognizing their potential as a valuable commodity.
