I was dumping some halves and in the hopper is a big coin rattling around. I get them to open it up and bam, thought it was a Morgan! Not a silver dollar, but a 1960 Danish 5 Kroner with "1935 24 MAI 1960" on the back and "5 Kroner" on the back as well. I looked it up and a 1960 is an 80% and weighs 17g. Biggest silver I found in a machine before. No need for a pic because it is beat to death on the front, luckily the back is readable. HH

I have one, but it's the copper-nickel version.

I used to have one to, but it was the apple-cherry version.

Danishes are overrarted pastry. I will take the 80% silver version any time.

Until you take a bite out of it. Then you'll spend money for dental reconstruction but hey, if you find an old tyme dentist, he might have some Ag fill'ns and silva teeth replacements laying around. If you have good insurance (or obamacare), the new set of teeth won't cost you a thing. So you'll have 80% silver danish (with a nasty bite-mark dent), and a silver grill, so if you really like silver the 80% version is the way to go.

This is the reason why I'd take a real danish over an 80% silver one. i value my teeth like ag.
