Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 9:20 pm I always flick the quarter in the air like you are doing heads and tails...Silver will ring all the way up and down most of the time. Its not a guaranteed test if you flip it wrong...but if you flip it with a good spin it will sing! Clad sounds die very quickly. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 10:09 pm I don't want to jump to conclusions, but Thomas Campbell's quarter looks like it might have been struck on a nickel planchet (also a valuable error, but not as much as a silver 1965). Of course, it could also just be plated. Edited by CaptainFwiffo 09/13/2011 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 11:04 pm Do a "ring test." Spin the '65 on a piece of glass that is sitting on something solid. Then spin a clad. As the coins settle, the silver will have a more distinctive, high pitched ring. The clad will not. If in doubt still, spin a known silver and see what it sounds like first. I used to find silver quarters in large quantities of quarters by dumping the whole batch onto a sheet of plate glass and listening for them. In fact, I did this so much (with nickels, dimes, and quarters), many years ago, that I can tell normally tell what kind of change people have in their pocket (not how much - just what kind of coins and if they are silver). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 10:59 am Well three months and we haven't heard the results of Chucksters Specific Gravity test. I think we can guess what the result was. As for Thomas Cambels coin, the very first thing we need to know is what it weighs Report this Post to the Staff

yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 3:26 pm I saw one of those sensers before. They work great. They tested it on 14 kt gold and it came back as something like 13.9856. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 7:09 pm Were you ever able to get an accurate weight? That seems like the next step. Report this Post to the Staff
