[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3999571, member: 78298"]Even in that shape you can closely examine the edge to see if it is clad or silver. Most likely it is an impaired clad proof. But I doubt it is silver. If you don't mind damaging the coin, an easy way to tell is to just take plain white toothpaste between your fingers (not gel) and just rub the coin on both sides. A lot of dirt will come off. Rinse and dry. If it is silver it will shine up. If it's a clad proof it will get a little cleaner but it won't shine up like silver.[/QUOTE]
