The US was about the only issuer of exactly 90% silver. 0.925 was more common, but a range of 0.750 to 0.925 would qualify a large number of 19th and early 20th C coins that are inexpensive in circulated grades and are available, if you are lucky with your finds, for around melt value.</p><p>You just have to have some idea what you are looking for and some dealers&#039; odds and ends buckets to search.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
