Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/19/2015 5:41 pm I have had this sitting around for a while. I know next to nothing about it. How much silver do I have here and is it all silver? Thanks for your help with this. Report this Post to the Staff

Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 07/19/2015 6:47 pm The 1965 Peso is 10% silver. The 1976 is 0% silver. I'm assuming that your 50 centavos is 0%, that your 1950 Peso might be 30%, that your 1974 Hong Kong is 0%, and that your 1907 20 centavos is of a higher silver percentage, if memory serves, 80%?
