also have you done the ping test? silver coins are very distinctive when dropped, or even when you put one on top of another. Gather some clad ones and listen when you stack one on the other, do the same with some known silver coins, then add this suspect coin and see if you can hear the difference.

There is also the tissue test.

But realistically you need to find somewhere you can get this xrf (fancy x-ray) to determine the make up of the coin, no one on here can garuntee 100% you coin is silver or not with just pictures.

ask your local coin shop or find a coin club and ask if someone local has one.

The ping test is inconclusive, and the tissue test although good, can be fooled by a plating.
