livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2217 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 7:20 pm Welcome! Private mint issues, like from The American Mint, Franklin Mint, etc. They are sold as collectables, tokens, sometimes in newspapers, magazines, online, casinos, etc. I assume some collect them but IMO overpriced and difficult to get your money back. Usually copper/nickel or gold/silver plated, not 100% silver or gold. Gold/silver bullion should say it's metal content, as .999 pure.

vinsint llc New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 7:31 pm The 9/11 and the vegas coins tested 90 percent silver on a machine at on place and then another place did an acid test and told me they was copper. I dont know anything about coins etc so I'm confused. The trump medal hasnt been tested. so if they are silver then just worth the weight? None have .999 or 925 mark etc Edited by vinsint llc 11/15/2022 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2217 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 7:35 pm It depends on the tester used, some can only test the surface while others go deeper all the way through the coin. Go to The American Mint webpage, you'll see similar ones that are mostly copper but plated in silver or gold. If these were pure silver or gold they should say so on the token.
