arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 12:33 am I have a 1992 Prince Edward Island - 25 Cents coin. How do I identify it? I see that many are made of nickel but some has silver and copper. How do I know which one is mine? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 7:33 pm If it's silver and in a slab from a reputable TPG the grade will be PRxx and it will have a cameo appearance. If it's nickel the grade will be MSxx or PLxx. If it's not from a reputable TPG, break it out and test it with a magnet.

arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 08/01/2020 11:34 pm I tried with a refrigerator magnet and they are not attracted ... Well, the label says PR but it is not like the most prestigious grading company ever. There is a sticker glued to the slab that says "silver" but I don't know who wrote it so I wanted to be sure.

NNC got the PR part right but missed by a mile on the 70. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
