Paul St Louis Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 1:06 pm Weight 11.3g Diameter 28.3 mm I received a coin where someone has acid tested the reverse and several spots on the rim. I see a brown ring with a deep blue center. Weighs correct, sizes correct, sounds like silver. I'm stumped. Could it be nickel? Not sure why someone would bother to produce a fake on a coin showing a grade value of about $15. Appreciate any insight you may offer. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 6:23 pm How do you know they're acid-test drops? I would have just assumed the black spots were caused by drops of some sulfur-containing liquid. I don't see any reason to question that it's silver. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
