Ron2012Paul Valued Member 175 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 7:59 pm Thats what we figured, so my next question is does this coin still have any silver value? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 8:05 pm most likely not, its not easy to tell if its silver or not just by looking at it. Report this Post to the Staff
GoThunder Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 8:53 pm Maybe German or nickel silver, the Chinese are great at faking stuff. Quote: Nickel silver is first known in China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_silver I first started researching types of fake silver when I bought what looked like a silver tissue case at a garage sale for one dollar. It looked like silver but didn't polish up like real silver does and looked a little too cheaply made to be the real stuff. Edited by GoThunder 07/16/2011 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
