<p>[QUOTE="dayriser, post: 840698, member: 21610"]Okay, I ended up with a large box of coins today (given to me) and they were 99% foreign which I don't typically spend a lot of time on. Looking online I was using worldcoingallery.com to get some idea of metal content so that I wouldn't be throwing away any silver. I pulled a lot of silver coins out but I came across a 1938 5 franc coin from belgium. I looked it up initially, and found zero silver, so I tucked it away. Later I found a similar one so I looked that one up and noticed that there were two varieties listed for the 1938, listed as km#116 and km#117, but then when you go to the values chart to see metal content, value and such, those two grouping are subdivided into 3 more categories each. 116.1-116.3 and 117.1-117.3. Now from what I can tell, the coin I have is a 116 based on the orientation of the motto, but what is the difference between the 116.1, 116.2, and 116.3? Any info and clarification would help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
