My personal favorite is the .945 coinage from the Netherlands; pre WWI only, I believe.

 

France, L'Alhambra, 1995, 100 francs 15 ecus , .900 silver, mintage-20,000 KM#1112 scratches are on the airtite...inside the coin has zero scratches.

 

I occasionally still find these 35% nickels in change back.
