<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sockdolager, post: 3689, member: 622&quot;]Hello,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m new to this forum. I have a box full of foreign coins from around the world - some of them dating back to the 1930s, and a handful that look like they&#039;re 200+ years old (may be fakes, but then again, may be real, but just common ones).</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Just wondering if there&#039;s a nondestructive way to test for silver content. I notice that my old silver US coinage has a unique ring to it when dropped on the tabletop. Also, a bunch of my foreign coins seem to be aluminum... wierd - I guess those countries (got a whole set from Laos) were having financial trouble at that time. On a similar note, some of the coins have holes in them, probably for the same reason. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- Jeff[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
