Packaging up some 40% for a trade I did with another forum member... and ran across a bicentennial proof half. I know for sure that it's silver... but which one? 40 or 90%?

I thank it is 40%, I know that the only quarter to be 40% is in that set.

40% but it should have a premium above just the regular 40% junk value

The paper with my set of 3 coins says they are all 40%. I'm selling the set in my current auction:

I would agree with you if it was in perfect condition... but this has a few tiny scuff marks on it. I'll just include it in my next deal with my forum bro, who shall remain anonymous unless he chooses to reveal his identity. But then he'd have to kill you.

Man, if I listed all of the foreign stuff it would take half a page.
I have from 10% Pesos up to 99.99%. It's amazing on how many different percentages are used around the world. I sort all of my foreign by what the % is and I have at least 2 dozen bags.
