You are asking about a 2 dollar coin from Canada produced in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee (i.e., 50 years on the throne) in 2002.
Two versions of this coin were produced; the easiest way to differentiate them is by weight.
KM#449 has a nickel ring around an aluminum-bronze center. 27,008,000 were produced, and an example (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins) is valued at US$4.00 in MS-63 (i.e., nice Uncirculated) condition. This coin weighs 7.300 grams.
KM#449a was produced in sterling silver (i.e., 92.5% silver) with a gold-plated center. 100,000 were produced, all in Proof condition, and an example is valued at US$14.00. Note also that it has 0.2626 troy ounces of silver and so has a melt value (as of May 25, 2013, with silver at US$22.50 per troy ounce) of US$5.91. This coin weighs 8.830 grams.
Flowing hair silver dollars were only struck in the 1790s. Silver dollars dated 1888 should carry the Morgan design. Please check again and post a new question.
All circulated half dollars dated 1971 and later are worth face value only. They're made of copper-nickel and don't contain any silver.
The last Morgan dollars were dated 1921. Your coin is called a Peace dollar. Please see the Related Question for more information.
No such coin exists. Silver dimes were produced for circulation dated 1964 and earlier. Silver proof sets started being sold to collectors starting in 1992. There is no 1985 dated silver dime.
These bills are called silver certificates rather than "paper silver dollars". However the last silver certificates were dated 1957. As you can see from the green Treasury seal and the words across the top front of the bill, you have a standard Federal Reserve Note which is only worth $1.
No, the US didn't make any silver dollars in 1932.
Dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier, and dollars dated 1935 and earlier, are 90% silver and 10% copper.
US dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and before contain 90% silver. Half Dollars from 1965 to 1970 contain 40% silver. The 1942 - 1945 nickels have 35% silver. Silver dollars dated 1935 and before have 90% silver.
U.S. silver dollars dated 1935 or earlier contain 90% silver.
Yes, if they are dated 1935 or earlier they have 90% silver.
take your coin to your local coin shop (not pawn shop) For US coins: > dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver > $1 coins dated 1935 and earlier are also 90% silver > half dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver > nickels dated 1942-45 with a large mint mark are 35% silver (NO other nickels have silver!) For Canadian coins: > dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars dated 1967 and earlier are 80% silver > some 1968 coins are 50% silver
Absolutely. Dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier, and dollars dated 1935 and earlier, are 90% silver and 10% copper.
1964 dated half dollars, quarters and dimes are 90% silver. 1965-1970 dated half dollars are 40% silver. Dimes and quarters dated 1965-present contain no silver Half dollars dated 1971-present contain no silver. No US coin dated 1971 (that was intended for circulation) contained any silver at all. No nickels except those made during WWII contain any silver at all.
Yes, this was the last of minting for Peace silver dollars.
Sorry, no US Silver Dollars dated 1809
Depends on the year and denomination of the coin. For coins intended for circulation: Dimes, Half-Dollars, Quarters and Dollars dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver Half-Dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver Nickels dated 1942-1945 AND have a large mintmark over the Monticello (either a P, D or S) are 35% silver
All US half dollars dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver (worth about $11 in scrap silver) All US half dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver (worth about $5 in scrap silver) All US half dollars dated 1971-present that are circulating contain no silver and are only worth 50 cents. (The US does strike commemorative half dollars and proof silver half dollars for collectors but these are almost always found in mint packaging, not as a loose half dollar).
