Glad for the info. I'm not that great when it comes to all the us coin info. I'm up here in Nova Scotia. I am sure going to be psyched when I finally dig a silver us. I'm way over due. I found almost 300 year old Spanish silver and almost 150 year old Canadian silver but no us silver. Closest I came was a 1966 us quarter! Haha
Actually the last year that US dimes & quarters were silver was 1964. US half dollars were 40% silver from 1965 - 1970. US "war" nickels 1942-45 (with large mintmark over the top of Monticello) were also silver. Since these dates like 1976 for the bicentennial some coins were made of silver but for the most part all US coins now are non silver. Hope this helps you.
