<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1923088, member: 4626&quot;]*The most massive things the Mint has ever issued to the general public lol... they&#039;re 3 inches in diameter, contain 5 troy ounces of silver.&nbsp; Unlike standard silver quarters, they are almost pure silver (99.99%) instead of 90% silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>And they&#039;re still legal tender for 25 cents lol... probably because of a very literal interpretation of the legislation that authorized them.&nbsp; So you can spend them!&nbsp; (Though wouldn&#039;t recommend it, unless silver drops below 5 cents an ounce.)</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to see one in person to appreciate how big one of these things are.&nbsp; Some quarter designs look especially good blown up to this size.</p><p><br /></p><p>(*as far as I know; certainly they&#039;re the biggest legal tender coins, not counting patterns.&nbsp; Some medals the U.S. Mint produced may tie or beat them though.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
