My First Foreign Silver Coin

[DustDevilMarc]

I have been coin roll hunting for almost exactly one year now.

I go through about 6 boxes of coins per week: 2 boxes of pennies, 2 boxes of nickels and 2 boxes of halves. Once in a while I will include a box of dimes as well.

This week I finally found my first foreign silver coin.

It is a 1937 Six Pence from the UK. I found it in a box of nickels, though it is smaller and thinner than a nickel. Also it is only 50% silver.



What foreign silver coins have you have found?

Here's a pic of a Canadian half - 80%er. Found about 6 months ago

I also found a Canadian Half dollar from 1918 and it is 92.5% sterling silver. It is my most valuable coin I've found CRHing.

I believe one lone 1960 Canadian half is my only foreign silver found by CRH. A 1921 Australian Florin is my lone foreign silver found with the detector.

I've found several:

A 1964 silver Canadian quarter, 1 Dateless Canadian dime (It has George V on it, so it's from 1911-1936), a 1950 Canadian dime, a few 1968 Canadian dimes, (Philippines) 1944 Ten Centavos, and (Panama) 1947 1/10 coin.

I haven't found any half dollar sized ones.
