<p>[QUOTE=&quot;webstandardcss, post: 1993674, member: 72151&quot;]Help me understand how coinflation lists cut off years for 90% &amp; canadian 50% coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just got done sorting a can full of old &amp; foreign coins. I was concentrating on finding some silver. As I was referring to coinflation for cut off years, I became confused. I guess it&#039;s never easy.</p><p>for instance:</p><p>Coinflation shows USA 90% like this: 1946-1964 Roosevelt Dime</p><p>That means every dime from 1946 through all of 1964 is 90% silver.</p><p>Ok cool. This also works for quarters &amp; Halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now pennies.</p><p>Coinflation shows: 1909 - 1982 Copper Lincoln Cent Value .026 cents.</p><p>Simple yes?</p><p>Wait... aren&#039;t some 1982 pennies copper &amp; some 1982 pennies zinc.</p><p>So really it should be shown as 1909 through 1981 95% copper.</p><p>1982 coins have to be weighed.</p><p>correct? (3.1 grams vs. 2.5 grams)</p><p>Those of you that machine sort, don&#039;t have to worry, must be nice!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now about Canadian 50% silver, I ran into a similar issue.</p><p>Coinflation shows: </p><p>1920-1967 Quarter $0.25 $4.3019</p><p>1967-1968 Quarter (50% silver) *** $0.25 $2.6887</p><p><br /></p><p>So does this mean that all 1920 through all 1966 quarters are 90%?</p><p>and</p><p>Just some 1967 through 1968 quarters are 50% silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I found one 1967 quarter that weighs 5.9 grams. </p><p>I think it&#039;s 50% yes?</p><p>But the 1968 I found could be either 50% silver or all nickel according to Wiki, and the weights are supposed to be the same.</p><p>How can I tell the difference??</p><p>(the 67 sounds silver the 68 sounds dull)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
