Who? And also... they still make these?
Yes, there are 144 coins in the silver set. There an additional 13 in the gold set. Not sure where the 164 comes from, but I suspect it is a typo.
How many of these are silver versus worthless? I've only metal detected a few times, but my dad was crazy about it when I was in high school....
