[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 827469, member: 112"]I don't understand your reasoning regarding the smoothness of the fields - the fields are supposed to be smooth. As to the weight - what you report is correct for the coin in question. And yes, it is supposed to be .900 silver. I can see nothing about the coin to make me suspect that it is not genuine. Everything about it "looks" genuine. So what is it that makes you think otherwise ? Now about the tissue test - the tissue test only works on coins that are known to have been minted in silver [U]and[/U] CuNi. And you need 1 of each to compare - 1 that is known to be CuNi and 1 that you are unsure of (like a modern silver quarter vs a clad quarter). Then the test will work for sure. But if you are trying to compare 2 different coins, as you are, then the test may or may not work. And - if the coin in question is toned then of course it is not likely that the test will work.[/QUOTE]
