I have two solid yourex silver forks that was retreived from an old plantation home. The house was constructed back in 1840. Looking for a value of theses forks
NO ! ! !
U.S. half dollars aren't solid silver. They're 90% silver with 10% copper, currently worth about $10.
Nope, because they don't exist. The US never made solid silver quarters.
It's not solid silver. U.S. silver coins have at least 10% copper in them. See the Related Question for more information.
Sorry! The US mint never made solid silver coins. It would be too hard.
Sorry! The US never made solid silver coins.
Liquid silver is worth the same amount as solid silver. This is not its natural state, and it would have be kept at an extremely high temperature to remain liquid.
The coin is 90% silver not solid silver. With uncirculated coins at $1.50 to $3.00 retail most circulated coins are bullion value only. About $1.25 as of today.
What is solid cadillac
No circulating U.S. coins were ever made of solid silver. They'd be so soft they'd wear out very quickly. All "silver" coins are part copper for hardness.
The US never made solid silver quarters. They would not be hard enough to stand excessive ware during circulation. They were made with a combination of 90% silver and 10% copper.
Something like that has no collector value and is only worth its silver content. The actual value depends on the weight.
