ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 3:52 pm Sunnymummy, welcome. I think we need a little more about the Coin/Tokens. as they say a picture is worth 1000 words. Can you add some pics of both sides? In 1921 we had significantly different looking coins, so perhaps you have found some old silver coins? Report this Post to the Staff

Sunnymummy New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 5:27 pm Thank you, and I believe they are either silver or silver plated because magnets don't pick them up. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's a couple similar on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREAT-CANAD...AOSwcBhWU5-H http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Can...AOSwu4BVkeqV Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 12/07/2015 5:57 pm They could be made out of cupronickel (like the nickels from 1982 - 2000) which are also non-magnetic. You can do a few easy tests to see if it is silver: 1) ring test, drop the medal onto the table, if it is silver it will have a higher tone to the ring (compare it to a toonie or loonie) 2) weight, Silver will be significantly heavier than a cupronickel coin, or zinc/copper coin.
