<p>[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 114741, member: 2486"]I would say that the most efficent way to do this would be based upon the mass of the coin set. The different metal combinations used in clad should have a different mass than silver. Simply determine the mass of each set, confirm it's mass in a coin classification as in the mint's printed card that comes with each set. Having done this it should go something like this;</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Mass of Clad set = xxxx</p><p>2. Mass of silver set = xxxx</p><p>3. Total Mass of Clad set - mass of the coins inside the holder = mass of the coins (try for grams)</p><p>4. " " " Silver set- " " " " = mass of the coins</p><p>5. Difference in the coin mass of silver should be noticeable!</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!
