OR you could dip it in concentrated Nitric Acid. If it turns into a pile of Silver Nitrate, it WAS Silver. If you drill a hole in the center and look inside that hole, it should be all Silver if the coin is all Silver. Or take everyone's word for it that it has been plated. Report this Post to the Staff
