<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1141383, member: 22729&quot;]I apologize Cheetah, I should have said all nickel pieces have been reclassified as GERMAN SILVER, not white metal. Tests were performed on German Silver and the composition was found to be the same as nickel, so it was decided to list all tokens formerly classified as nickel under the broader term of German Silver. As of 2005 when the latest revision of the patriotic book was published the designations for the metals used for CWT&#039;s are as follows.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BR:b: brass</p><p>C:a: copper</p><p>C-N:d: copper-nickel</p><p>GS:j: German silver</p><p>L:g: lead</p><p>S:f: silver</p><p>T:m: tin</p><p>WM:e: white metal</p><p>Cpl:ap: copper plate</p><p>Gpl:lp: gold plate</p><p>Spl:fp: silver plate</p><p>Tpl:mp: tin plate</p><p>Gt:k: gilt</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry for my mistake.</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
