<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 2865562, member: 25270&quot;]First off, I have this Portuguese 50 centavos coin. On the bottom of the 50 centavos side there&#039;s a little bit of metal that looks out of place. When I first saw it I thought it was from jewelry, but the metal seems to perfectly match the rest of the coin, it isn&#039;t raised or uneven at all, and I didn&#039;t see any edge damage or damage on the other side. Do you think this is from jewelry or is it a &quot;cud&quot; example or some similar issue? [ATTACH=full]683538[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Next I have a 1980 New Zealand 1 dollar coin. There is a copper nickel version and a silver version for this date. The seller had it listed as the silver version, and I put it a really low bid just for fun and ended up winning it. When I got it, I really didn&#039;t think it looked like silver, but a magnet doesn&#039;t stick to it. I don&#039;t have a scale to weigh it with, but the seller gave what they said was the weight and it matches the silver coin. Krause doesn&#039;t list the weight for the copper nickel version. If it was the copper nickel version would a magnet stick to it or not necessarily? Any other way I can identify if it is silver without a scale? [ATTACH=full]683539[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
