Hi Alexander,

Many coins are made from .999 or better silver. Check it out at:

Hello:)
 
The 
increased area of the coin should be great, but...
Is not 
the silver in most coins "sterling", and would them contain 
nickel=poison? Also 
relativly unrefined silver has a long history of driving silver-smithes 
mad, 
from mercury poisoning.
Poorly 
refined silver is often very high in mercury 
content...
So, it 
might be a good idea to make sure that the coin has only .999 or better 
pure-silver
listed 
as 100% of its content.
 
Just 
Thinking,
Alexander
