I just finished soldering some plumbing in my new laundry room at the cabin..I had almost forgotten they outlawed lead for plumbing solder and replaced it with silver.

Most US coins which were "silver" were 90.0% silver up until (and including) 1964. From 1965 to 1969, only the Kennedy half dollar continued to be produced with a silver alloy, but with only 40% silver. There are still silver coins, but they are in mint sets (proof, uncirculated).
