satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 07/17/2011 8:04 pm Yes but most only sell as 90%. There are some better/key dates like 1916-D. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/17/2011 8:17 pm They are really just Lead and the government told people they are Silver so they would think they are really worth a lot. Possibly Nickel mixed in to make them harder too. Now if that was really true, we could call them NickLeads.I wonder why they used that %. Why not 95% or 87% or something else?
