[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1420345, member: 75105"]I was reading a magazine when I saw an add for a buffalo nickel ring. As a coin collector, I thought this ring would look pretty cool. [IMG]http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMAG0502.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz257/Phototaker_2010/IMAG0505.jpg[/IMG] Wow....$129+$9 shipping. Well that might not be terrible, IF the ring was sterling silver. I read the whole ad, and called, curious of it's composition. It did not mention it anywhere. $130? Okay....but ONLY if it's silver. I will pass if it's stainless. I called and after 20 minutes of being on hold, I finally get a hold of someone. It's not silver, it's not stainless steel! It's silver plated copper! So this ring might look OK now, but soon the plating will wear off, exposing the copper underneath. $130 for a copper ring with a nickel glued to it, I think I will pass...[/QUOTE]
