<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 3213215, member: 15019"]I don't doubt that the coin is anything other than solid silver as it's being marketed. The seller is selling what in their mind is a legitimate item, so it does not appear that they would lie about the material. Save yourself some money and just get a jeweler to test the purity. Or, if you have a decent sized flat magnet, angle it at about 45 degrees to the ground and slide the coin down it. If it slides very slowly then it's high purity silver. I've never actually seen or heard of a coin being struck from dental amalgam, though I suppose it's possible considering the odd materials we've seen used (compressed coal dust for example).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
