<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2428080, member: 69760&quot;]I contest - I think it&#039;s both practical and economical, with enough market demand from the numismatic community to be a viable option for Krause&#039;s consideration.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be for <i>any</i> silver content for, say, world coins of 1901-2000. Even if it had only 1% silver, it should be included. The same would apply for a gold version (e.g. 1914 Mexico 2 Pesos Guerrero has a minute amount of only 0.595 grams of gold with a silver/silver alloy balance). Countries don&#039;t typically include such a small amount of silver in their coinage anyway. It wouldn&#039;t make much sense to mint a 1% silver coin with 99% copper, unless it was, say, a silver plated/gilt clad coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>A hypothetical silver version would already be smaller than the current Standard Catalog of World Coins from 1901-2000 (maybe less than half its size). They could probably extend that to 1801-Present. It would be an abridged version of what Krause already has (all they&#039;d <i>literally</i> have to do is search and delete through the pages on their computer file for all non-silver coins, then publish the content that&#039;s already there, and maybe add a few new things to call it a silver version - besides, how much content actually changes year to year for the 1901-2000 and other period books? Typically little to none, I bet...). And, I don&#039;t think it would get that pricey for a silver only version... It would be priced similarly to all of their other books that deviate from their normal offerings, if not cheaper (for a 1901-2000 World silver coins catalog).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
