[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3090669, member: 8959"]Well, I have not done the sound test with this Rhode Island Token, but to me it looks more yellowish than reddish, so I assume it is probably brass. The sound test consists of slightly tapping the object - Brass rings 'lively", whereas copper sounds 'dead' (according to what I have read). I have no done this yet, but will at the first chance I get. Want to see though if you agree with my assessment that it from its appearance, it is likely brass.

The pictures reflect the true colour of the token. [ATTACH=full]779840[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]779841[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
