prussian coin

Postby rexmerdinus » Fri Aug 12, 2011 10:46 am

Anyone have a quick reference on the approximate silver content of a Prussian 1872 2-1/2 Silber Groschen coin? I say approximate because it has a hole in it :)
Actually not sure ifit has any silver at all, since it has a slight copper-ish tone to it.

Thanks!
