<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 548676, member: 4350&quot;]You can&#039;t tell if it is silver but to answer the question.&nbsp; It is sometimes done as a science experiment in schools.&nbsp; In fact,&nbsp; CoinWorld recently ran an article that tells you how to do a silver plating using common household items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also,&nbsp; many &quot;special&quot; hyped,&nbsp; silver , gold, and platinum plated coins are sold on TV all the time.&nbsp; Thats been going on for a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case,&nbsp; i don&#039;t think your coin is coated with silver.&nbsp; It is likely a thin layer of spray paint<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen coins sprayed with silver spray and gold spray that are only barely covered just like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>The motivation behind why someone would tamper with a coin is often difficult to pin down.&nbsp; The fact that it is done is easy to discern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
