RE: Mail Call: A little delayed 2020 Christmas gift from @dwingsworld – Constitutional Silver

Thanks for sharing the old Silver wealth units, of real money, @kerrislravenhill. Similar looking to today's copper-clad, with no valuable Silver. I remember that Silver money, that circulated, back in the good-ole-days. Silver coins have a clear and rich distinctive, ringing sound, when dropped on a hard service. Thanks for the memory.

Sort:  
Similarity and familiarity is key, The Rosie and Bluenose hasn't changed since their silver the days before 1965. Doesn't take much effort identifying a silver coin from a Clad Nickel one. Coins that had short runs like this Straits Settlements from an entity that no longer exists are still silver, just harder to accept as legal tender.



Seems easier to get that RING from larger coins tha the small ones.


Thanks for dropping in @cve3

1910 Straits Settlements 5 cents 0.600 Silver 1.36g
