Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 11/06/2010 10:43 pm G'day, a tip - if you're going to a premium above melt value, make sure that you get either - a high-grade coin; or a low mintage coin; or both ! Common years in high grade are easy to find for only a little above melt. Australian silver was 92.5% (sterling) from 1910 to 1945; but only 50% from 1946 to 1964. The 1966 50-cent was 80% silver. All of the other 1966 and subsequent coins are CuNi. I see a lot of Australian silver & bronze & some notes on Ebay-USA, mostly bearing 1940s dates. I suspect that these coins travelled to USA as pocket-change of returning soldiers, and as they pass on, these mementoes are being found by families, and then into the market place.
