[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1189081, member: 15929"]The copper-nickel planchet will weight .2 of a gram less than a 40% Silver planchet while a 90% Silver planchet will weight nearly a full gram more than either of the clads. A simple weight comparison should be the first step. As for the alloy core showing on these planchets, I have seen what appears to be a different colored edge and I've also seen whats appears to be a solid white edge of which both scenarios exist with coppernickel planchets as well. However, a 100% copper core would always have a bright copper edge. 90% Silver Weight = 12.5 grams (+/-) 40% Silver Weight = 11.5 grams (+/-) Cn Clad weight = 11.3 grams (+/-)[/QUOTE]
