<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2301989, member: 66&quot;]I have a silver clad coin as well.&nbsp; It&#039;s a Conder token Middlesex 181 in what they call &quot;Bath metal&quot; It is a copper core with two fairly thick silver layers clad to it (not just plating).&nbsp; If it was thinner the &quot;bath metal&quot; would be referred to as Sheffield plate.&nbsp; In order to make silver services that looked like the real sterling silver sets they would clad sterling silver to a copper core and then roll it out to create the metal sheets or &quot;plate&quot; used to make the service out of.&nbsp; Since most of this industry was located in the city of Sheffield it came to be known as Sheffield plate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
