Those $5 Canadians are sterling (.925). They have an ASW of .7227 T. Oz. Was somebody getting the fineness confused with the ASW? What did you end up paying for these 2 coins?
I like these coins. The ratio of FV to ASW is even better than a ML, which is 5 times better than an ASE. Nice back stop if Ag should go through the floor (they are legal tender).

I paid $11.94 for the first which was too much! spot was $15.50
Paid $11.00 for Second spot 15.25
Found the Dollars on CDN melt chart they are OK, But you are correct the The $5 are closer on value
Thanks Bluegill for help. |

| The $5 are in coin holders but the Sterling must be the reason they are so BRIGHT as the one holder has cracks but coin still bright. |

Perhaps technically, but try spending one at the grocery store. Even banks were refusing to accept these coins at face value (at least that was, before silver appreciated). |
