My Grandma passed on her coin collection to me the other day so i could go through them and value each of the coins, im not an expert on old coins so ive been using www.google.com, obviously!!! Now i came across this coin which is from 1869 and is belgium from the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium, its a 5 franc piece. I managed to find some information on it but nothing exact, if you look at ebay the current bid for one of these was $13 but it hadn't finished when i last looked. This seems surprising because other research i performed suggests that it is made of solid silver because they didn't stop using silver in Belgium francs until 1878?? Unfortunately i don't personally know a person who is proficient in coin valuations! Please let me know if anybody can clarify whether it is solid silver.
