I am currently working on a comprehensive list of silver
circulating coins of the 20th century.
So far I am up to E for East Africa.
The information will include country, KM#, denomination, years of issue, silver fineness, ASW, and a description of obverse and reverse.
It will include circulating coins
only including circulating commemoratives, (as far as is possible to tell). But not those only released for collectors.
It will also not include proofs (unless there was a circulation/business strike version), patterns, trial strikes, essais, pieforts etc. or purely collectors coins, such as those themed coins released by the likes of Liberia, Cuba and Gibraltar with Star Trek, Pokemon, Dogs of the world and the like on.
At this time it will
not include mintages for particular years of issue, although I may attempt to add this in the future.
I do not plan on giving values as these would be worthless in no time given the state of the silver market etc.
I have thought about coming up with a 1-10 scale to attempt to give an indication of rarity and/or difficulty to acquire. I thought about some sort of formula to do this based partly on indicated value in krause, and mintage figures, although this may be difficult given the numerous instances krause values bear no relation to reality. I have not decided on this for sure yet.
Any comments, or thoughts are welcome. Once complete any corrections etc. will also be more than welcome.
If anybody would be interested in a copy on excel once I have finished please subscribe to this post and I will keep you updated on my progress, and send a copy when complete.
