Default US Silver or clad?

I have or had a general idea of what coins are silver and which are clad. So I made a cheat sheet.

Also wanted to be sure I didn't leave anything out. Let me know if I did!

Plus I figured I can't be the only one who wasn't sure.

Thanks!

Joe

There are alot of modern error coins worth big bucks !Enjoy the link,knowing the history behind what you find can be even more rewarding than the find itself !
