Hi Is there a list that displays the amount of silver in all coins for all countries?
Would be handy to have it in an excel spreadsheet.

http://www. (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/ has the melt values of US and Cdn coins, and I think he is getting the database setup for other countries as well.

The website vinny attempted to link to got to the top of Google searches by relentlessly spamming places like this forum. We don't think spammers should be rewarded, so mentioning it on this forum is not allowed. WorldCoinGallery does list silver content of world coins, but it's a little fiddly trying to find out whether a particular coin is silver. First look up a country, then look up the denomination and year for your coin, note the KM#, then click on "click here for coin values" and look up the KM#. I should also add that there are many earlier, scarcer and commemorative coins not listed on WCG. NumisMaster is the website run by Krause. It's also a bit fiddly to use, especially for non-IE users; looking up a whole bunch of different coins from the same country can be tedious. Click on "Find my coin", then enter country denomination and date details.

That would be a big and complex list.
Weigh the bag, offer at 20% is silver. Then redo all coins in new flips with a smile on his face because he ended up with coins that were 40% to 70% silver.
