<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1105088, member: 5739&quot;]In 1968 Canada issued both 50% silver 25 cent coins, as well as nickel ones. </p><p>The 1963 Canada 25 cents is 80% silver with an Actual Silver Weight of .1500 oz.</p><p>The second two Canadian 25cent pieces are worth about face value I&#039;d say, the reason the second one looks different is because first off, it is a different portrait of the Queen, and also it seems to be a commemorative, having the two dates on the obv, I wish I could give you more info on it, but I can&#039;t find it in my 2004 Standard Catalogue of World Coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Italian L500 coin with the woman&#039;s portrait on the obverse <u>is</u> in fact silver, and a very beautiful design in my opinion. It is 11.0 grams of 83.5% silver, with an Actual Silver Weight of .2953 oz, so a bit over 1/4 oz of pure silver. I can see why it caught your eye, it is a pretty coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>None of the British coins you posted are silver, the last year Great Britain used silver in it&#039;s circulation coinage was 1946, so you missed it by just a couple years with that 6d and shilling of George VI. Still cool coins, and interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
