I am just curious as to the Metallurgic properties of all of the coins aside from the Lincoln Memorial penny. To be more specific, are the $1/50¢/25¢/10¢/5¢ .999 or .900 Silver in Content?  |

I believe the only silver coin in this set is the dollar. It would be .900 fine silver.

Thank You ratman4762! That's good to know as well since I also have the 93' Prestige Set.

I agree with Ratman on the metal composition of the coins.
These sets were only made from 1983 to 1997 (Except for 1985, where none were released)
This series of sets are easily obtainable if you were to chase after the rest of them

The mint made the change from .900 to .999 in 2019. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...osition.htmlPrior to that, everything was .900 fine except the 3c silver type 1s and the earliest silver coins that were IIRC .8964 or some weird number like that. -----Burton 50 year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, OnLine Coin Club Owned by four cats and a wife of 40 years (joined 1983) |

Thanks TeeEss, most of them aren't really all that expensive but take your time in getting them. I have had mine for a long time and I don't know what they are valued at now. (something I should be checking on at some point.)
