Don't get discouraged, just continue to learn and apply that knowledge. Think of the fun you'll have going back through those sets and looking at them again to make sure they are indeed silver. It's not likely, but if they're not silver, don't beat yourself up, just move forward with a better understanding and use the regular proofs to fill some holes. Hoping that your audit turns out well.

Quick way to test would be the tissue test. Just lay a single layer of tissue paper over the coins in the set (bathroom tissue, facial tissue etc. You don't have to take the coins out of the holders.) If the silver coins look WHITE through the tissue they are silver. If they look gray they're clad. Edited by Conder101 01/05/2016 10:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
