<p>[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 1200369, member: 18369"]I can't get the tissue test to work. However, to me, sound is the best test. Flip a known clad in the air and flip a known 40% silver half in the air (let it land on a pillow or something soft). There is a distinct sound that silver makes. Then, flip your suspect coin. Does it "ring true?" I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that that is the origin of that phrase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
