RE: The Po' Boy's (and Girl's) Guide to Stacking With Junk Silver
"junk silver" especially dollar coins and half dollars are some of my favorite silver to stack. Canadian silver primarily, but the odd time I can buy a Morgan dollar, or peace dollar I usually do for the right price!
Canadian pre 1921 quarters, 5c, dimes, and half dollars were on the British sterling standard, and therefore 92.5%. after that until 1967 dimes quarters and halves and dollars, were 80%, 1968 some became 0% silver while some were still 50%. There were still silver dollars, but not circulation after 1868. That's Canadian silver coins as best as I know.
I love Canadian silver too! I just couldn't ramble on about it off the top of my head, so I really appreciate this information. I used to run into it more when I lived up north, but here in Texas, I'm more likely to find Mexican silver, which is also cool. Thanks for stopping by!
p.s. I don't know why, but I love finding rolls of dimes.
