<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ROBERT THOMASON, post: 2630655, member: 84116&quot;]What a great find, and I believe the silver content was higher than the US coins at that time (later reduced to .500 in 1946).</p><p>When I visited Sydney in 1968 (on R and R) Australia was changing over to the new decimal coins, but the older silver issues, like yours, could still be found, in slot machines that were in many restaurants! I would feed the new coins in and save any silver issues that were paid out. Went back to RVN with a pocket full of silver (along with a couple of 1937 crowns, found at a coin shop). I guess I was a &#039;typical&#039; US soldier, since the old saying is, &quot;Europeans fight for glory, Americans fight for souvenirs&quot;.</p><p>As you have proven, Silver is where you find it.</p><p>Congratulations on a great find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
