<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 528402, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m not well versed on bullion weights of foreign coins.&nbsp; Particularly Canadian, British and their territories.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is there a good website to find this info?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m finding I really like Canadian and British coinage.&nbsp; I went to an antique mall today and the guy had a jar full of foreign silver coins. I didn&#039;t know I&#039;d find them there or I would have done my homework before I went.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Anyway, I ended up getting a bunch of shillings, six pence, three pence and some Canadian quarters.&nbsp;&nbsp; He sold them by the gram.&nbsp; The price clearly stated on the jar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;At the time I knew he was selling them high but I didn&#039;t quite realize how high for the bullion content that most of them contained, which was mostly 50%.&nbsp; He weighed it all on the same scale as if it was all .999 fine.&nbsp;&nbsp; Even if it was all .999, he was charging well over spot.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Most of the stuff is early 1920s to 1940s.&nbsp; Some earlier, some later.&nbsp; A few of the six pence are still very sharp.&nbsp; Is there much numismatic value associated with these?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Also, how many troy oz of silver are in a 1962&nbsp; 1/2 Franc?&nbsp; I can&#039;t find anything on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;I purchased less than $70 worth but I&#039;m afraid I over paid badly.&nbsp; Although I do really like the coins and I won&#039;t be selling, it was a stupid, knee-jerk, spur of the moment purchase.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
