What is the silver content of my 1960-1965 pesos? How much silver is in each one? What percent?

I bought one from 1967 the other week, I'm not sure if its the same content as the earlier ones but if so than the content is 10%

Dollarman has got it right. I got about 7 of these. They weight 16g each with a 10% silver content. They're super common and in very low demand so if the coin is in less than AU then it's worth only whatever silver it has which isn't very much. In MS, they wholesale for $3 each.

More than one country issued "pesos" in the 1960s. We've been assuming you're talking about the Mexican ones?
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
