Hi Guys and gals,
Simple. There are silver ones that were made for special sets. They sometimes get placed in circulation by someone breaking up a set or by someone who has a single coin.
First step. See if the coin has an S mintmark. If it does you have a silver coin.
The next thing to be aware of is that there are millions of these that have been plated with, gold, silver and platinum by those coin hucksters on TV and elsewhere.
I would suspect the first scenario with the coin having an S on it.
Then the plating scenario is the next most likely.
Thanks,
Bill
