<p>[QUOTE=&quot;neburg964, post: 32870, member: 2007&quot;]I probably used the wrong terms to describe what they did.&nbsp; Basically, they rubbed the edge of the coin very lightly against what looked like a fine-grade sanding block, to test the metal filings for chemical composition.&nbsp; They put some fluid on the filingss which revealed the presence of silver.&nbsp; Next, we examined the edge of the coin where it had been filed.&nbsp; Note that the filed area whas not visible with the naked eye.&nbsp; Under a jeweler&#039;s eyepiece, we were able to see the copper peeking through.&nbsp; That&#039;s when we knew we had a clad coin that had been plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The quality of this plating is so good that 3 different experts examined it, and it wasn&#039;t until we did this test that we discovered the truth.&nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine what this coin would have been worth, had it been a genuine error coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well, it&#039;s nice to dream, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
