Picked up some silver today for a great price.

[red89]

I got a 1972 silver wedding Bermuda dollar, a 1956 Dominican Republic 25 centavos, and a 1952 Netherlands Antilles 1 gulden coin from a pawn and coin shop near my house. I paid $14.50, and I think the silver wedding dollar coin is worth about double what the melt price is.

Side note, went through about 380 face value of dimes and half dollars, only came up with a single 56 rosie, but hey, scored pretty big at the pawn shop so I ain't complaining.

Does anyone know the purity of the silver wedding dollar? I am seeing .925 and .5. Not sure which it is.

I'm hoping it's .925 but I saw this page:

Bermuda Coins

it says they were issued both in .925 and .5, I just dont know how to tell since this coin is pretty toned (the picture doesn't do the toning any justice).
