Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 6:33 pm I have this coin which appears to have silver content but Kruase Catologue on World Coins has this coin & year listed as Nickel - Silver but NO CONTENT or Percentage shown. About 22.5 mm, plain edge, white color (silver like) Copper-Nickel appears silvery and Silver coins are usually whiter and not silver unless new or polished (added jpeg) Does anyone have more information on this coin & year.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:04 pm I wonder if nickel-silver is a mistake. My specimens all look like cupro-nickel, and I didn't suspect that they might be nickel-silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16869 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:54 pm "Nickel silver" is the name of a nickel-brass alloy that contains no silver; it's called that because it was used in 19th century faux-silver items. Wikipedia. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
