Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 07/09/2017 3:52 pm I see copper above the T in LIBERTY and it has had some circulation. On the other hand, might be nice to know because you'll sit and look at it until you die. wondering. I don't know. It's your $40 - or so. What does the edge look like?

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 07/09/2017 4:31 pm Show us a picture of the edge. If it's copper it can't be 40% silver as they were minted from alloy composition and were a solid silver color. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 08:42 am Specific gravity is conclusive. Weight is not because the copper nickel and 40% silver weights have a HUGE overlap due to mint tolerances. (clad can weigh 10.9 - 11.79 grams, and 40% silver can weigh 11.1 - 11.9 grams. So a coin that weighs between 11.1 to 11.79 grams could be either one.) Quote: 40% silver as they were minted from alloy composition and were a solid silver color. Until they get some circulation of handling, then the edge can darken and the clad layers then show up clearly as well. Report this Post to the Staff
