<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barfly, post: 1861636, member: 57721&quot;]To venture a guess, I&#039;d say this coin is probably not silver. When planchets (sp?) are made, they are punched out of ribbons of metal that are rolled with the various layers of the desired coin pressed together under pressure. Sometimes, the ends of those ribbons will contain all of one kind of metal. It looks as though you got a coin that was punched out of a ribbon with very little core material present, thus, the sides of the coin show no core material and appear uniform with the obverse and reverse clad material. That&#039;s my guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>You could confirm this with a very simple and inexpensive silver acid test.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
