I honestly find this hard to believe. Who neglects to open a safe and find $26k in it?
The chances of that being 90% silver is the closest number to zero. One way to be sure is to have a metallurgy test, but that might not be worth...
It sure is a beautiful 1917 Type 1. I'd put it as a 62. Mind telling us what you payed?
