[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 796504, member: 112"]Well, not exactly. There is another way, but it requires that you have a known example of a Cu-Ni coin to compare it to. Take the two coins,the known Cu-Ni coin and the suspect coin and place them side by side on a table. Cover them with an ordinary tissue. If the two coins are identical in color then they are both Cu-Ni. But if one is silver, the silver one will look whiter as seen through the tissue. Doesn't sound very scientific but it absolutely works every single time.[/QUOTE]
