<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 24357, member: 669&quot;]<i>Most</i> of the information you are looking for probably is somewhere on the internet Alice, but it&#039;s just not all gathered neatly together at one site.</p><p><br /></p><p>The description of each coin in the Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins - all four volumes covering 1601-almost current - includes its composition.&nbsp; In the case of coins containing silver that typically includes the weight of the coin in grams, the percentage of silver, and the Actual Silver Weight in troy ounces.&nbsp; Krause will also tell you the makeup of your other coins - gold, copper, bronze, nickle, brass, aluminum, zinc, tin, clay, fiber, or combinations of one or more.&nbsp; Since you probably don&#039;t want to spend a couple of Ben Franklins on this particular quest, try your local public library.</p><p><br /></p><p>(If you have coins predating the 17th Century, you&#039;ll need other more specialized works to answer your questions about them.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
