<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 212795, member: 2844&quot;]The Dutch sites I saw all say that the nickel ones were introduced after the reign of queen Wilhelmina. Since the coins are Dutch, I assume the Dutch sites know their stuff. This means the Wilhelmina ones are still silver, albeit low grade. They also test as low grade silver.</p><p>I don&#039;t know if you read a little Dutch, there are of course translation sites, but the significant words on the following silver pages are koningin = queen, zilver = silver, nikkel = nickel:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-kwartjes.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-kwartjes.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-kwartjes.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-dubbeltjes.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-dubbeltjes.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zilver-inkoop.nl/zilveren-dubbeltjes.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see the nickel ones were introduced after the reign of queen Wilhelmina. Her reign ended in september 1948, followed the same month and year by the reign of queen Juliana. Consequently the Wilhelmina ones, minted until september 1948, are silver (low grade), the Juliana ones, minted from september 1948 onwards, are nickel. The two queens on the coins look very different, but you already know that.</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t matter to me, I am not a coin collector, and as I wrote earlier I sell the bracelet for the nostalgic, etc. value. I only expect bids for that reason and for the sterling link bracelet. It was only important to me to have the mark verified. But it would be a shame if you put your silver coins in the nickel scrapbox.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
