<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2000675, member: 5233&quot;]The problem is...you can clearly see the copper on the rim of this coin.&nbsp; That alone is proof that there is a copper layer within your coin.&nbsp; The 90% silver coins were a 90% silver/10% copper alloy...there was no layering, it was one solid metal.&nbsp; The 90% silver coins cannot have the copper layering we are seeing with your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the clad coinage that began in 1965 can sometimes have the nickel folded over the rim to make it appear that there is no copper layer.&nbsp; But...there is still a copper layer inside.&nbsp; This is when some people start to confuse a clad coin with a silver one...because they can&#039;t see the copper.&nbsp; So...on a 1965 quarter, if you <b>can&#039;t</b> see copper on the rim it <b>doesn&#039;t</b> necessarily mean it&#039;s silver but if you <b>can</b> see copper it means with <b>100% certainty</b> the coin is clad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
