[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3130594, member: 77814"]So .. the evolution of silver smelting technology ? long topic. remember, your sterling silver was made for strength to be used in cups, silver ware, etc. Ever try to use a true silver spoon or fork .. they bend easily. The Trade, Morgan, Peace Dollar was 90% silver, 10% copper Flowing & Draped was 89% silver, 11% copper With the 1970s 40% and 90% coins ... depends if you collect the coin or the silver content, or both. I think the act ([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Silver_Eagle[/url]) for the 1986 bullion coins allowed the mint to produce the coins. Remember the US gov't policies allows the mint to do or not to do something a particular way.[/QUOTE]
