Regarding purity of silver in coins, I couldn't resist sharing one of my dad's favorite lines-- my father is a preacher in what's left of his "free time."
"Rat poison is 98% pure food. It's the 2% you have to watch out for!" He uses this line in reference to warning of false teachings, which is the most emphasized theme of the New Testament, and regarding fanciful promises politicians and salespeople make, etc. I'm also thinking of the funny, old Ritz cracker commercial-- "Looks the same. Got the same # of holes!" (Another voice...) "Just don't taste the same." Michael is right. Why mess around with unknowns? Let "silver" coins be "silver" coins. Silver wire is not expensive and easy to get. That's the way to go, unless you have your own chem lab to test everything.
