<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3061667, member: 84179&quot;]To the OP.&nbsp; An SEM/EDS analysis would work well.&nbsp; Many Universities have this type of equipment and some will do outside work at reasonable prices.&nbsp; You&#039;ll spend about $100-150 but there will be no doubt if your coin has Mn and Ag (war nickel) or Cu and Ni (regular nickel).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a big fan of having dealer use handheld XRFs for things other than gold and silver.&nbsp; Not a problem if the operator knows the limitations of the equipment, but there is a lot more than just pointing and shooting and reading numbers off a small screen.&nbsp; Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
