Hi Alexander, Many coins are made from .999 or better silver. Check it out at: <A HREF="http://www.ccsilver.com/">www.ccsilver.com</A>
Andy From: carpae.diem 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
