svslav - thanks for that comparison picture! Both coins appear to have about the same details, so this is a great point of contrast against my coin. I appreciate it! =)
DCH - Sounds like a plan, but I have never relied on a specific gravity test before. Will need to do some research on the best methods to do it at home. Thanks for the tip!
Swamperbob - Thank you as always for your deep insight. I have never heard of an XRF test before, but I do believe this coin is valuable enough (if indeed silver) to justify doing it. Is this something a local jeweler would do, or should I seek out a specialist? Thanks!
