Top left to right: Thailand 1962 1 Baht Newfoundland 10 cents Great Britain 1/2 Crown Bottom Left to right: Israel 1 New Sheqel (I can't read the date) Denmark 10 Ore Great Britain 3 Pence France 1/2 Franc Luxembourg 1 Franc Brazil 1 centavo
Yup the 1921 British half crown has .500 fine 50% silver and the rest copper to the best of my knowledge. All the other coins are made of ordinary metals.
PS. The British 1940 3 Pence might also have the same composition as the 1/2 Crown but I can't confirm that.
Indeed: the British 3 pence has the same silver composition as the half crown: 0.500 The Newfoundland George VI 10 cents (of which I cannot read the date) had a silver content of 0.925 during the period 1938-1944 and of 0.800 1945-1947. The Brazilian centavo is made of your nickname: stainless (steel)
I really enjoy the Newfoundland coins. The 1919 C 10 cent is listed at $12 canadian in VF, 50 in EF in my 1998 Charlton guide.
A bit less, I am afraid: Krause 2004 gives the 1941 10 cents a catalog value of 2.20 $ in VF and 3.50 in EF.
Ok, thanks for the help any idea on what the British coin (the big silver one) is worth for the grade? stainless
I have some different figures for this one. I should grade him not higher than VG. Krause (2004) gives a catalog value of 3.50 US$ in fine, while my Spink catalog (Coins of England and the United Kingdom) 2007 gives a catalog value of 3 £ for this coin in fine condition. Catalog values for VG are not given, so I suppose it will be the value of the silver content (which is 0.2273 oz. ASW)
