If the planchet is silver clad, you will be able to see the different layers on the edge (the core will be darker in color), while a 90% coin will have the same composition throughout.

Well I tried the tissue test. I did not have a silver dollar, so I used a shiny silver thaler (hope it works the same. The coin to the right is the thaler, an Ike dollar in the middle and the planchet tpo the left. I included a rim photo. looks to be the same as the flat surface to my eyes.   |

No magnetic attraction. What does that mean?

Means it's not a hunk of iron, that's good. One of the first things we do to detect counterfeits.

Me neither. I would be leaning toward a silver dollar, except for the weight.

That's a good point, oober. OP, did the person you inherited I from ever live or spend time in another country? Lots of countries have produced large silver coins like this. |
