<For silver, circulated Canadian "junk" silver coins from the '60's or '50's are good. They are 60% silver in composition. > Alan, Thanks for the interesting post, but there should be a minor correction. Canadian junk silver in this era is mostly 80 % silver, not 60%. Part way through 1967, the silver content was reduced to 50 % and stayed that way for 1968, the last year for circulation silver coins. In case anyone is interested, prior to 1918, Canadian silver coins were sterling (92.5% silver). I think that US coins up to 1964 had 90% silver content, so their junk silver usually fetches a higher premium. Regards, Karl
