Thanks again, Smaulgld. Yes, I remember those silver nickels still circulating back in the 1960s. There rarely pop up today. Great way to stack fractional Silver. About eighteen of these beauties contain over one troy oz Silver. At 0.0563 troy ounce, it is just under a Silver dime's content of .07234. If you see darker look to your nickel check it closely. Silver can tarnish and help ypu spot it.
