Think I found some more silver in a penny roll

Postby beauanderos » Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:25 am

I could look this up myself, but maybe one our forum experts already has a quick answer. Was cracking open some plastic rolls this morning to feed the Ryedales and found a coin that sounds like silver when dropped. Looks like silver. Mexican 20 centavos, 1928. Help? :) Image Image

Thanks HF. Not worth a whole lot, but the novelty of finding it makes it fun :D

Silver is silver...nice find. I found a small girl's silver ring while metal detecting on Sunday...it weighed 1.38 grams....worth $1.50+/- but still silver for the pile!

Nice grab before it took a dive into the zinc pile! :D

I believe I got the same coin in a penny roll about six months ago. After looking at completed listings on ebay, it looks like it may have more numismatic value than melt value.
