<p>[QUOTE="Forkeh, post: 1261194, member: 31745"]Well actually the 1970 is 40% too. The easiest way is to look at the rim in 90%ers, but it won't always show if the coin is dirty or heavily tarnished. The 40% ideally will have a different look to it too. If you're experienced, you know the typical silver dull shine. If you're not, meh no big deal. You might miss some anyway, like I said some coins can be dirty and/or tarnish. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'd say the best way for you is to look at the dates. If you're experienced enough to know the different clang of dropped silver, I suppose you could do that as well. But honestly I hate to see an coin treated in such a way. Plus, if this was from a personal collection, some of those halves might be in really nice condition (like gem bu) and worth holding onto even if they aren't silver. So yeah, just look at the dates. And for the love of god take condition into circulation; I wouldn't just be selling any really nice coin as junk silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
