aaronomy New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 06/22/2009 11:30 pm Hey guys, I'm still kinda new to this :) . On my mint set paperwork it says that the quarters are Cupro-Nickel clad. 8.33% Ni Balance Cu. Does that mean that they are 8.33 percent Nickel and 91.67 % Copper? Thanks, Aaron Report this Post to the Staff

Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 06/23/2009 01:31 am Heres a novice question I have and I've been a member and collector here for over a year. Are modern silver proofs 90% silver composistion or 40% silver composistion. Whats setting me off is knowing that the 1976 silver bicentennial set was all %40 silver and I thought that may have set a composistion trend for silver sets. Report this Post to the Staff
