    American Silver Eagle

    I have just had a reply on the US forum, It seems all US coins share the same orientation. I have checked with the other Us coins I have and they are the same. Just me panicking that I had bought a fake! regards Andrew
  2. I've just bought a 2011 American Silver Eagle. Is it normal for the head and tail side not to be the same way up? Regards Andrew

    American Silver Eagle

    Thanks for the reply, I had spent quite sometime on the web searching for the information, but like you I found nothing. I have posted the same question on a US coin site so hope someone there will know the answer. Regards Andrew
  4. Ok, so I'm new to coins and this may well be a silly question. I understand the silver content of our coins was reduced during 1920. Is there a way to tell the different silver content coins issued during 1920? Thanks Andrew

    English Silver Coins

    Interesting, I did wonder if the different alloy after 1920 would have different electrical properties that might be measured. If I could find my multi meter I'd give it a try... Regarding the scrap value, I assumed that at 1.4 grams per coin it would be 20 3d's to an ounce, making each pre 1920 coin worth about £1 and post 1920 50% coins half that. Any comments appreciated. Regards Andrew
