Any excellent find indeed. :icon_thumleft:

They are half dollar size, his is 10 years older than the one I found a couple months ago.

It always feels good when you find silver. That 1967 fish can be either 50% or 80% silver. I guess the way to distinguish is to drop test. Hope that helps.

Re: First foreign silver W/pic's

Cool find but do give it the magnet test. There are some fakes of those around. Usually they are the silver dollar size coin that you have to worry about. I once got a stack of them from a large collection I bought cheap. It does look real though and in nice shape but always good to check.
