# 2 - Brazilian Junk Silver

I am a great fan of junk silver. That is why I have junk silver from three different countries : USA, Canada and Brazil. Everybody know about American junk silver (dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars minted before 1964 with 90% purity, and half dollars minted 1965-1970 with 40% purity).
A few know about Canadian junk silver (dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars minted before 1967 with 80% purity).
No one knows about Brazilian junk silver. I am here to tell you some facts . Contrary to American and Canadian junk silver, the purity changed along the years. We had 91.7%, 90%, 89.6%, 83,5%, 80%, 60% and 50% purities.
My stack is composed completely of 90% silver and in three denominations : 500 réis (5 grams), 1000 réis (10 grams) and 2000 réis (20 grams). Let's show the coins.

For those who, like me, want to see large quantities of silver, this is my stack of Brazilian junk coins.

In the future I will show you my stacks of Canadian and American silver junk.

Thank you for reading and please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.

Come here tomorrow because I will show you my most valuable coin and a little of its history.
