<p>[QUOTE="SWThirteen, post: 1168956, member: 29858"]I've read about a magnet test. The 50% silver will not stick to a magnet while those with no silver do stick to a magnet. I have never tested it, but you can try it. As for the 1967's, there is no way to tell the difference between the 80% and the 50%. Many people just call them 65% because of this. If you have the resources, you can test the 67's for density. The 80% will be slightly denser then the 50% because silver is denser than copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got this info from these links</p><p><a href="http://www.coinscan.com/technical/canasp.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinscan.com/technical/canasp.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinscan.com/technical/canasp.html</a></p><p><a href="http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=369522.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=369522.0" rel="nofollow">http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=369522.0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
