    1887 GB 6-Pence: .9250% - .0895oz ASW
    1755 Bavaria Thaler: Krause just lists "Silver". Looking at most of the other Thalers in that time frame though, MOST are listed as .8330%, .7515oz ASW if that helps.

    The 1887 Sixpence was 92.5% and contained .0841 Troy Ounces of Silver.

    The Thaler was 1/10 of a Cologne Mark (233.856 Grams) so it contained 23.29 grams of Silver and had a fineness of .833

    At least that's what I could find...image
