<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1866800, member: 24633&quot;]I&#039;m preparing to consign some medals to a friend of mine on eBay. Most of these are from private mints here in the states, and some of them do not identify the metal composition. I didn&#039;t think this would be a problem because I always thought that it was easy enough to identify silver from white metal using a magnet, though I&#039;ve never bothered trying this before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I separated all those that had the &quot;heft&quot; of, say, a silver dollar or half dollar and started checking them with a magnet. When all of these medals proved to be non-magnetic, I started questioning this method. So, I tried using the magnet on some clad quarters, and I discovered that all of them, too, were non-magnetic.</p><p><br /></p><p>What should I do, now? I don&#039;t want to test any of these in a way that could damage them, and I certainly don&#039;t want to spend $10-15K on a fancy machine like they did on &quot;Hardcore Pawn&quot; . Does anyone have any suggestions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
