Pre-war coins

Not to be a dick, but that dime is 90% silver and weighs 2.5 grams. At $32.97 an ounce, and doing the gram to ounce conversion, that dime is worth $2.38 silver melt value.

 

Being that's my first silver coin... I think I'll hang onto it...

 

Glad you can still add. Jack

 

LOL, at this age, "ciphering" numbers is about the only bodily function that still works OK.

 

Also, it helps that I am kinda familiar with Mercury dimes

 

Very cool!....

 

I got another star note today... Looks like this one was cut off center....

 

Here's a couple from Newfoundland, before it became Canada's tenth province. Kind of neat that they still struck large cents in 1936, and sterling silver five cents into the '40s.
Yeah, 1945 isn't prewar but it's the same design type as the 1938-up.

 

Cool ...

Finally found a Westpoint quarter after searching for 5 years.... This one is a 2019 vintage.....

 

These Westpoint quarters are going for crazy $$$$.$$

 

Got this yesterday.... This should get me out of the house and go have fun....

 

Just found this thread !
Glad there are so many coin collectors among us.
One of my non-automobile hobbies.
