[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7560706, member: 112342"]Well the coin itself is 40% silver, but it's not uniform as it has layers of silver-copper-silver, so I'm wondering about the purity of the silver layers, are they just 90% themselves? Same applies to the silver Ikes. Also why are they layered and not mixed into an alloy, even the modern clad coins? [ATTACH=full]1303640[/ATTACH] (not my image)[/QUOTE]
