Yes all Proof $1 coins from 1977 onwards and $5 from 1991 onwards are Sterling silver (But not the 1990 $5 Anzac coin). Also the Proof $1 of the 1974 Games coin is silver too.

However the "Uncirculated" grade are NOT silver, but Cupronickel. These came in plastic square cases, plastic sets and later cardboard sets and holders. Same with the Polished Specimen coins of 1965, 1967 to 1976 and all Proof coins 1c to 50c up to 1990 (Except the 150th anniversary proof set of 1990) and Proof set coins 5c to $2 from 1991 are also not Silver.

Seems the NZ part of this forum is pretty much dead since Princetane disappeared.

Such a shame.

His enthusiasium and knowledge is sorely missed.

Totally agree. Although I am still in touch with him.

I just received a nice package of coins from him too, including this scarce 1935 3d.

That is a relief to hear. I miss his knowledge and storytelling.
