<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 424176, member: 66&quot;]Yes, weigh it.&nbsp; A copper nickel clad will weigh 22.68 grams +/- .9 grams.&nbsp; The 40% silver ones weigh 24.59 grams +/- .98 grams.&nbsp; There is a slight overlap between the maximum possible clad weight and the minimum 40% silver weight.&nbsp; If you had a known copper nickel clad coin such as a US quarter or dime after 1964 yo could also use the tissue test. Put the copper nickel clad coin and the Ike dollar side by side and lay a single layer of tissue paper over them.&nbsp; As seen through the tissue the copper nickel coin will be dimly visible&nbsp; If the Ike loos the same way it is copper nickel.&nbsp; If it is MUCH whiter in color it is 40% silver.&nbsp; (a 90% silver coin would be even whiter still.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
