<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26327200, member: 104064&quot;]Do you have better images of it than the ones in the article?</p><p><br /></p><p>One option of course is that you and the Secret Service both got the same composition results, and for whatever reason SS didn&#039;t want to say why they exist. But then you&#039;d have to explain why the mint was experimenting with 97% silver and put palladium in too. Was counterfeiting using real silver that much of an issue that they thought about making the quarters more intrinsically valuable? Going from 90% to 97% would hardly make any difference. From what little I&#039;ve read, palladium can inhibit tarnish, but less than 1% isn&#039;t going the do anything for that either. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, if you&#039;re faking these for collectors, why so much silver and also add palladium? Which gets back to my question about whether there was something readily available that already had that composition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
