Silver is on the rise Many coins were minted in silver throughout the 20th century. This handy, budget-conscious guide provides an overview of most of the silver coins minted in the 20th century for circulation. This book arranges coins by country, and provides the years, composition, and total silver mass of their coins. This allows the collector to rapidly estimate the melt value of their coins. It also provides collectors with useful other tables, including year conversions, reading other number systems, and country currency names. The book is mostly tabular. It does not provide a thorough history of the countries (>100 are included ), and it does not identify key dates to look out for. However, it does give you an idea of the intrinsic values of world coins, pointing how much silver can be found in a given collection. With rising silver prices, this value is close to the collector value of the coins as well.
