<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mister_Steve_Min, post: 1963375, member: 71689&quot;]Well, i stumbled across a great coin book today and I searched through loose change and found a 1967 quarter that was unusually shiny. I searched in the web and found out that most silver testing tests required acid or a very precise scale. I did not have any of them, so I went with the two cheapest and easiest tests possible: the tissue test and the rim test. The tissue test failed miserably because: 1.I didn&#039;t have any silver coins so I didn&#039;t know how it was supposed to look, and 2.Under the lamp, the coins glittered and both of them looked the same. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The rim test turned out to be very interesting, because almost 30% of the rim was SILVER!!! (yes, I know that about half of the rim is silver and the rest is brown. But, the 1/3 of the coin was just silver. No brown. Is it silver? because I have heard of a real 1967 silver quarter being found! So... should I cash it in? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> or should I just throw it in the nearest vending machine?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
