And now that you mentioned it I took a closer look at the edge.. on one side of the coin you can see a darker stripe. It is inconsistent so from the other side it looks to be all the same light silver metal... I guess I was looking at that side.. So there you have it.. You solved another one.. It is a silver clad like it should be.. maybe next time! Report this Post to the Staff
tiggerlilly64 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 06/08/2009 9:25 pm Oh where are my manners... Thank You All of You for your responses. one more small question.. Do you know of any errors reported for this date? The reverse has a double image on it.. More like a shadow.. kinda.. You can see "plur" stamped on the eagles chest and a star just behind his eye. It is like the whole image is shadowed but a off centered by half.. Report this Post to the Staff

Like any other visual test, is easier when you have a known silver, silver clad, and Cu-Ni clad to compare with.
