Now that I'm stacking some I keep running into more silver I didn't know I had. I found a lot in boxes between two different Grandparents. I also have LONG had a box of coins that belonged to another Grandfather who passed away in 1966. It always looked like a military stash like I accumulated myself over 13 years active duty, but his just looked like all Philippines he picked up in WWII. Well, while working on repacking stuff to get ready to move I ran across the box. There was a handful of 1962 1/4 Panama Balboas I found right away. Then another smaller box that must have been my Great-Grandfathers and full of European coins from the late 1800's up to 1917. Much of it was copper but another total of 3 ounces in French silver. Oh, that's actual weight. All I did was verify online each was silver but not yet gone back to check on purity. Not a whole lot, but I love surprises To think I've been lugging them around for over 20 years and never looked close!!!
that's always fun. about 2 years ago. my parents went to visit my grandmother in Brigham City, Utah and came back with a bag for me. My mouth litterally dropped to the ground when I opened it up. inside the bag was (300) 1964 silver Kennedy halves. I felt like I had just won the lottery. she knew I collected coins and grandma told my mother they were for me. wow is all I can say.
Not trying to be a smartie, but remember there are Troy (precious metals) and Av (I'm not going to try and spell it, but for weighing banannas.) ounces.
And that's why I clarified Without getting the purity it also can't be directly converted to either of them anyway, although it looks like all are at least 80%. Funny how the meaning changes when not including the next sentence to go with it
