No. The closest you'll find is the Wartime Nickels (1942 "P" & "S" mintmarks and all 1943 - 1945), which contain about a 35% silver content.
Yes. There was a silver 3 cent piece minted from 1851 until 1873, which was the smallest silver coin the U.S. ever made. Then there was also a 3 cent nickel starting in 1865 that lasted until 1889.
Presumably your coin carries the double date 1867-1967, which means it was minted for the Canadian Centennial. In average condition it has no added value. In EF-40, it retails for only 15 to 20 cents.To explain, the first Canadian coins called nickels were minted in 1922 and none have ever contained silver. Five-cent pieces issued before that year were tiny coins made of 80% silver but none were minted in 1867, so you could not have an 1867 nickel.
No U.S. coins weigh those exact amounts. The smallest U.S. coin ever minted was the silver 3-cent piece, which weighed 0.75 grams, followed by the silver half-dime (5-cent) at 1.3 grams.
probably a novelty...lincolns were never made in silver In the 60's kids would dip pennies in mercury. The mercury would bond tightly with the copper, resulting in a cent that looked silver or nickel in color. This was before the dangers of mercury poisoning were known.
Nickels before 1964 are made of the same nickel/copper blend as nickels made after 1964. The only nickels to contain any silver are "war" nickels, minted 1942-1945. This means even buffalo nickels don't have any silver.
Never
No Indian Head cent was ever struck in silver.
Cupronickel, not silver. The only silver nickels ever minted were made during WWII.
No general circulation Australian Penny was ever minted in silver. If you have an Australian 1911 silver Penny, it is because somebody plated it, and it is subsequently worthless as a collectible coin. There were a few silver Pennies minted in later years, but they were minted as a trial and never released.
Not in the U.S. There were no dollar coins issued from 1936 to 1971 inclusive. Some experimental pieces were struck in 1964 but never circulated and none has ever shown up in public.
Of the few Australian general circulation coins that were minted in either 1989 or 1990, there were fewer general circulation 1990 coins minted, making them slightly rarer. 1 cent coins - 1989 - 168 million minted 1990 - 52.99 million minted 2 cent coins - 1989 - 124.5 million minted 1990 - none minted for general circulation 5 cent coins - 1989 - 43 million minted 1990 - 31.81 million minted 10 cent coins - 1989 - 43 million minted 1990 - 23.69 million minted 20 cent coins - 1989 - none minted for general circulation 1990 - none minted for general circulation 50 cent coins - 1989 - none minted for general circulation 1990 - none minted for general circulation 1 Dollar coins - 1989 - none minted for general circulation 1990 - none minted for general circulation 2 Dollar coins - 1989 - 30 million minted 1990 - 8.7 million minted
No lead 1 cent coins were ever struck by the US. Zinc coated steel cents were struck in 1943 only.
