mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 10:32 pm Not actual State Quarters but coins the size of half dollars with one for each state. Souped-up State Quarters approximately 1/2 ounce each and made by the Franklin Mint. There is about 23 troy ounces of pure silver. My buddy wants these. I think I'll trade for a tube of ASE's .

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 12:23 pm Sterling is .925 Report this Post to the Staff
Kurrykid Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 12:25 pm Thanks Denco...you don't really hear of people collecting sterling too much (at least I don't). Is it not as desirable for some reason? It seems .925 is a pretty good amount of silver. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 12:39 pm Sterling is a lot more durable that pure silver, the added alloys make it good for silverware and serving plates. That is also why many sterling coins contain an ounce of silver but weigh inexcess of an ounce to get to that silver content level. Early Pandas were sterling as well as early year Libertads. Britannias were .958 up until this year when they switchedto .999 Report this Post to the Staff
