<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dctjr80, post: 926125, member: 15915&quot;]I have this shilling and by its patina and luster I would swear it was accidentally struck on a silver planchet. It is from 1947 which is the year directly after they switched to Copper-Nickel, I weighed it and it weighs 5.66 grams and my scale could be off the .01 grams. I can not find the proper weight for the copper-nickel shilling for that year, but the silver weights are listed at 5.6552 grams and I am almost spot on the weight. Is it possible this shilling is .500 Silver?</p><p><br /></p><p>I will also attach a link to a short video of this coin... sorry the quality of the video is very amateur. <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;videoid=&amp;release=106948693" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;videoid=&amp;release=106948693" rel="nofollow">Silver Shilling?</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
