<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 109815, member: 669&quot;]KM#105a, the copper-nickle version is listed in Krause as weighing 21g, even though it has the same diameter of 21mm as KM#105, the nickle version, which is ridiculous since the cu-ni 10 fils is listed as the same weight in both metals.&nbsp; Chalk up one more victory for the Krause printing gremlins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, there are two ways to tell the difference.&nbsp; The hard (and expensive) way is to submit the coin to a metallurgy lab for destructive testing which will reveal the exact alloy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The easy (and cheap) way is to take a magnet off your refrigerator, place the coin on a table, and put the magnet on top.&nbsp; If the coin stays on the table when you lift the magnet, it&#039;s cu-ni.&nbsp; If it comes up with the magnet, it&#039;s nickle.&nbsp; TaDa! :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
