[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1278622, member: 68"]From across the room I can get them right four times out of five. Up close about 19 times out of 20. It's higher yet if I can touch them. The 80% clad can be very deceptive but so can the 90% solids. The edge should almost always give it away. Grey is clad and silver is silver. This should work well over 99% of the time. There are almost certainly diagnostics but I've never taught myself to recognize them because they are quite minor.[/QUOTE]
