<p>[QUOTE="xCoin-Hoarder'92x, post: 2194330, member: 72758"]en.numista and ngccoin have a bunch of information on coins dating back to the 1700's at least, through current. 1920's to 1960's most countries around the world made silver coins and put them in circulation. I have some Netherlands 1 Gulden and 2 1/2 Gulden coins from the 60's which are 72% silver. I also have a France 10 Francs silver crown from 1965 made of 90% silver much like our Morgan Dollars. In the early 1900's most European coins were silver, and the average purity was 80% or 83.5% I believe. Occasionally you will come across a coin with only 50% or 60% purity, or less. </p><p><br /></p><p>The sites I mentioned are free. Both of them provide lots of details too, such as mintage for each year, size/weight, and precise purity in silver. Numista is really easy to use. Just typing in the name of the country will bring up every denomination in circulation including every time period as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
