guys I found these last weekend in a massive silver score, and I know the top one is 1919, the one on the left I believe is 1926, but the one on the bottom is completely obscured.

I am keeping records of all my finds, and If possible is there a way to tell if this is 1919 or older (sterling silver vs 80%)

I don't have a handy dandy XRF machine in my back pocket to tell.

is there some other markers that changed like the leaf pattern or size etc or something on the king that changed?

Any help would be great.

If the date is unreadable on a George V 25c, every bullion buyer out there pays .800 for it...

Does the ring test work on these? I know it works for the .800 and .500 silver ones, but .925 (Sterling) and .800 doesn't seem to be that far in fineness.

No 25cents were struck in 1926 (or '22,'23,'24,'25) that coin is likely a '28.
