    When i first started to buy silver i bought generic rounds,as i was looking at some today i noticed i have afew that have NO markings for silver content on them. They say "republic of marshal island" on it also it has a $50 dollars written on it. The two coins are aniversary coins of moon walk & shuttle launch. W/O the .999 silver writen on them did i get taken? are they maybe worth $50 dollars?

    I agree. You can weigh them to be more certain.

    The $5 denominations are not silver, they're a clad type in copper-nickel.
    The $10 denominations are brass(?)
    The $20 denominations are silver: .999 fine, silver content = 0.5 oz.
    The $50 denominations are silver: .999 fine, silver content = 0.9989 oz., weight = 31.1
