Hmmmmm. Doesn’t bode well for the long term chemical stability of the coins. It’s softer too, meaning it won’t stand up to wear or damage... not that it will ever matter for these dainty princesses.
Thread from two weeks ago...
U.S. Mint moving from coin silver to .999?
(Request CaptHenway's coinage article. Good read.)
As I said before ... it make calculating the melt value easier. Melt 'em, Danno!
I like the change to pure silver...some collectors will like it since tarnish will be enhanced... Cheers, RickO
