<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2997910, member: 15199"]If it was a silver dime planchet there would not be enough metal to form the normal rim shape of a cent. Could some employee make exact size of silver planchet , upset the edge , stop a cent press and put the single planchet in by hand and strike a few silver cents? I wouldn't spend my money on the odds. Take it to a bullion shop or jeweler that has a XRD , plunk down the cost of the test ( usually 50-$100), send it to PCGS or NGC, or put a drop of HCL on the cent. If it is Zinc it will release hydrogen bubbles .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
