<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hcmusicguy, post: 4639950, member: 59377&quot;]I&#039;m not normally one to resurrect posts that are very old, so my apologies.</p><p>I had been wondering on the silver content of the alloy of these coins.....are they just silver plated copper/brass or is it a conventionally mixed alloy.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard it both ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took the ugliest and most beat up one I have (a 1962) and filed down a bit of the reverse to see what was underneath.&nbsp; I figured it couldn&#039;t hurt since it was so ugly, was a freebie at the LCS, and in Mexico they are mainly melted for their silver anyway.&nbsp; It was blast white underneath the toning, so most likely not plated but a regular mixed alloy.&nbsp; I&#039;ll probably give it to my kids to play with.&nbsp; They like looking at my coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
