with Aztec coins badoom boom
Roman coins came in gold, silver and copper. In the earlier days there were also coins in bronze and brass.
"Pure" silver coins were never minted in Britain. The closest to pure silver used in coins is sterling silver which is 92.5% silver usually alloyed with copper. Sterling silver coins were last issued for general circulation in 1919 and 1920, beyond 1919/1920 the coins were debased to 50% silver. The Royal Mint still produces Proof and bullion coins (not for general circulation) which are made from sterling silver, but this is reflected in the price you pay for them.
Only if you are collecting the coins for their silver or bullion content. The melt value depends on the silver price that changes daily in line with demand and supply. Collecting bullion coins is a way of preserving wealth in uncertain economic and political times. Coins are portable and gold coins, ounce for ounce, is obviously more valuable. Bullion does not pay interest or dividends, hence some investors prefer gold or silver mining shares, as they generally pay dividends. Some pundits say one should have 5% of ones wealth in bullion. As with everything, diversification is essential and I would not put all my eggs in one basket. I hope that helps.

this rare u.s. coin is worth however much a man will pay for it
It depends on the coin. First, look at the condition, mint-state examples of Peace Dollars or Morgan Dollars will sell at a premium over the silver value. Do not clean your coins, they can only lose value by cleaning them. Secondly, look at the mintages of your coins, if there were many coins minted, your coins might be better to sell for the silver. If there were few coins minted, the coin is most likely worth a premium over the silver coin. However, if you bring your coins into a coin or jewelry shop, and it is a rare or great condition they will usually tell you and buy it for a premium. If the coin is common they will usually pay melt value which at the time of writing is around $22 for a 90% silver dollar.
Depends on the coin.Some coins are primarily collector coins and they've got values beyond their silver content, other coins are known as "junk silver" and sell about for melt value.For US 90% silver coins (quarters, dimes, half dollars and dollars dated 1964 and earlier) a good rule of thumb is that you'll pay anywhere from 20-25 times face value for a junk silver coin. For example, you can expect to pay $2-2.50 for a junk silver dime.There are also 1965-1970 dated Kennedy half dollars, these are 40% silver and can usually be bought for about $5 a piece retail.There are also 35% silver "war nickels" which are dated 1942-1945 (with a large mintmark over the Monticello) these coins will often sell for $1.50-2 or so retail.
