Make a line by pressing well the coin. If copper-nickel, can not leave such a line. Report this Post to the Staff

Carlos arriaga Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 09:20 am Most sure I'll order a X-Ray Flurescense Test; This Buffalo nickel, with my 1971 Eisenhower dollar. Supposed to be 22.60 Grms and actually 23.42 Grms. May be both have the same reason of overweight. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 1:48 pm As I mentioned on another forum the weight is just slightly (.03 grams) out of tolerance. I'd run a specific gravity test on it before I spent the money sending it to the TPG. The tissue test has be suggested but we have not heard the results of that yet. Report this Post to the Staff
Carlos arriaga Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 12/01/2013 12:33 pm CONDEN101. I DID THE tissue test. ALL READY (WHITE PAPER). The result is... "NOT SILVER" So the Buffalo nickel is "Nickel" Can have extra value any way. Only because it's overweight? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 3:32 pm Being that small an amount out of tolerance, probably not. And no need to shout, possibly you mentioned the result of the tissue test on the other forum, there was no mention of the results in this thread until your last post. Report this Post to the Staff
Carlos arriaga Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 12/03/2013 11:14 am Conder 101. Do you know the exact amount of OFFICIAL tolerance on weight, in this Buffalo nickel? O in all coins is the same +/- 4%? Report this Post to the Staff
