Chris99a got a reaction from stefffana in which wore fastest in circulation .925 or .500 silver
I was just wondering if anyone knew if silver wore faster in general circulation if exposed to similar treatment as sterling silver or when it was debased to .500. I am just curious because the .500 silver coins I tend to come across generaly exibit allot of signs of ware. does a higher or lower silver content effect a coins life in circulation?

Chris99a got a reaction from Griffo in 1983-99 sovereigns
why were sovereigns only issued as proof from 1983-99 without bullion issyes but from 1957-82 and 2000-date, both types have been issued. did the mint attempt to move away from bullion to sell proofs or did demand faulter over this time?
thanks

Chris99a got a reaction from Booky586 in Why were St George and Shield back sovereigns issuded at the same time from 1871-1887
hi, I was just wondering why the Royal and Colonial mints started issuing St George sovereigns from 1871 but also continued to issue the shield back coins each year until the effigy redesign to the Jubilee Head in 1887 rather than just replacing the shield backs with the newer St George Patter. also most the sources I have found have included a combined mintage figgure for both types, I was wonder also if separate design mintages existed and are accessible?
many thanks
