Another day of silver and I need some help.

[red89]

Went to the bank for another quick coin search. I got $200 in dimes from the bank and found a single silver rosie. After that I went to a gun show and as some of you know they sell coins there as well. I picked up a 1967 french 10 francs coin. I was wondering if anyone knew what the silver content weight is in ounces on this coin. I've looked it up but I am getting mixed responses. I think it is .723 oz. Can someone confirm this please? Sagittarius98 can you help me out?

You are correct on the silver weight. It's .900 fineness.

Since the silver weight is .7234 I paid under spot for it. I got it for $20. By the way it sounded, looked, and felt I was thinking it was going to be exactly like a peace/morgan dollar, but it's slightly under the silver content for those. With current silver prices this would melt at roughly $22.40. So not a bad buy at all. I love getting silver under spot.
