Silver content of European coins
 

Please tell me the pure silver content of these silver coins, and their fineness. I cannot find any solid references via usual sources.

1958 Italian Lira 500

1910 Italian Lira 1

1900 British Sixpence

1869 Spain 50 cent 400 Piezas En Kilogramo

1930 10 Cent Netherlands

1900 British Sixpence - 92.5% silver

I'll check my Krauze catalogue for the others.

I am quoting from Krause the actual silver weight on each:

1958 Italian Lira 500 - .2953 oz.

1910 Italian Lira 1 - .1342 oz.

1900 British Sixpence - .0895 oz

1869 Spain 50 cent 400 Piezas En Kilogramo - ???

1930 10 Cent Netherlands - .0288 oz.

Thank you. So 0.6z of silver.

My guess would be, the rest of them are 800 fine?

If anybody wants them, I will put them on Ebay shortly.
