A jeweler may have ways to test for silver as well, especially one who buys silver and gold.

Just make sure the coin is handled correctly and non-destructive tests only!

It seems a little daunting but, as I mentioned earlier, a specific gravity test should really be done. If you missed my previous post with links:

Good idea...I was also wondering if any colleges/universities would have the right equipment as well. Sometimes they are willing to help out.

IMO, I'd just send it in for grading and be done with it. Will be expensive if you just send 1 coin in by itself though.

If you send it in use ANACS, it is the least expensive.

unless she might be able to remove the Tarnish with some Acetone

Acetone wouldn't do anything and anyway they already said they rubbed the tarnish off.
