Hello,

does anybody know what, exactly, "coin silver" is (I found something
like 90% silver 10% copper, but are there other standards), and what its
mechanical properties are?


I thought 'coin silver' had a lot of nickel in it.


The country of the coins will be central to getting a good answer. If
it's USA'n, then I'm sure there are FAQs out there which google could
scare up for him. Other large countries as well, I would think.
