Weight? Diameter?

It looks like other fakes I have.
I doubt if it has any elemental silver.
SG is likely a 7 or 8 number.

SG = specific gravity . That is a good way to quickly and non-destructively determine the alloy.

I've documented an album of these showing common flaws & flubs by the makers.
If I didn't use the coins I have, I could have used this one instead.

Albert do you still think its a fake even if the weight checks out. The surface is hard to judge worn surfaces

Yes.
Weight or diameter can be the same as genuine- so it matters not to me.
To clarify a statement from above, I do not use SG to determine an alloy.
I use it (along with other confirming tests) to verify that a suspect coin is not the proper silver.
I may not know what it is, but I'll know what it is not.
