Is my coin a Silver coin? A QUICK TEST to find out !!!

This is a quick test to see if your coin contains silver. Place a tissue paper (Kleenex) over the coin. Ifyou see white through the tissue where the coin is, it is silver, if you see the shadow or darker outline of the coin it is of another geposition. Now if the coin is in a 2x2, plastic flip, acrylic holder or OGP it can sometimes give false reading and if you can, but not regemended,take it out. If you cannot take it out, turn the coin on its edge or look at the edge and if it is white or silver in the middle it more than likely silver. If it has a reddish tint in the middle like a cookie middle, it is more than likely clad or another geposite other than silver. I hope this helps you determine your coins geposition.
