I can usually tell by the relief but I wouldn't feel comfortable decisively sorting by relief or color. I'd be right about 90% of the time.
Is it possible to tell the difference between copper and copper coated by color alone? I'm guessing people are using the coins relief more than they realize.
My hearing isn't the greatest. I can hear silver but not copper. I can also hear the TV but not my wife.
