<p>[QUOTE="kookoox10, post: 1378562, member: 31129"]Or if it's a circulated piece, you can do what all the non-collectors do and try the drop test. Drop the coin from a half inch or so off the table, a silver 40% will still have a higher pitched and distinctive ring to it. Probably the more crude way of doing it and not exactly numismatic friendly. I would try option A (edge check) and B (weigh in) before I do this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
