How to find metal content of World Coins???

KoinDawg

I bought 10 pounds of World Coins on ebay and am having a great time looking through them. How can I find out which coins are 90%+ SILVER in the mix? Is there information available on the internet that gives the metal content of various countries coinage back to 1920s??

You need a Krause catalog.

On the internet, it is gonna be hit or miss. You might find some online reference for a particular country, but no all-encompassing website like the coverage Krause will give you.

The Standard Catalog of World Coins by Krause can often be found at a library or purchased, new or used, online.
