Who says you can't find silver in a cent roll?

Going through some Strings and Sons rolls of cents with a magnifying glass this afternoon and this was in a roll . Made my day when i googled it. With a silver reeded edge it stood right out in the roll. Has the look and passes the ring test. Below a link describing the coin. Thanks for reading. MM2

Nice catch! MM2.

I got a silver-looking coin but it's a Chinese Aluminum 10c.

 

[Merc Crazy]

That's rad. Closest I've come was a '64 Roosie in a bag.... bags have a lot more variety.

You are one of the select few to have found silver in a cent roll, I hope to join that club some day

Your coin is sterling silver, 0.925

Actually, it's 50%.

No, Buff is right, because they started minting 50% ones in 1946. So this is an example of last year sterling silver from Australia.

it's sterling .925, 92.5% silver

Actually, it's 50%.

Sorry, I was thinking of British silver years, even though it is Australian.
