Question 3:
Is this Netherlands 1980 1 Gulden, Silver or Nickel?
The Standard Catalog of World Coins says that if it is nickel it is worth about $0.50 but if it is silver it is worth a lot more then that. Is there a way to tell if it is silver or nickel without weighing it? (I don't have an accurate scale) Perhaps the Silver one is a different design? You can't tell from my crappy pictures, but the coin appears to be prooflike, if not proof.
Thanks,
Cheddy

But in the The Standard Catalog of World Coins it says that the nickel coins also have the same thing on the edge.
The silver ones have a small z next to the mintmark on the obverse side.
the edge motto is present on both coins, it reads * GOD * ZIJ * MET * ONS , meaning God is with us
the 1980 silver proof guilder is part of a rare set , 1 and 2 1/2 guilder offered as a gift to the personnal of the Dutch Mint.
total issue: 157 sets - catalog value: 1200 Euros
