Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 04/15/2009 5:33 pm I know the easiest way to get the information I'm looking for is to go to the bookstore and look it up, but a lot of people on this site enjoy doing this sort of thing so I thought I would post here first. I'm trying to access the value of a pile of foriegn coins I bought at a yard sale. I have a few items that I think have silver content but don't know for sure or I know they have silver content but I don't know how much in terms of ounces. Here it goes 1940 australia 3 pence 1956 australia florin 1962 new zealand 3 pence 1964 new zealand 6 pence 1964 new zealand florin 1938 2 reich marks 1938 5 reich marks 1921 GB 3 pence 1942 GB 6 pence 1948 GB 1/2 crown 1962 ireland 3 pence 1899 canadian 5 cent piece 1959 nigeria 6 pence Thanks!
