Tissue test

Just read something I thought I would share about how to tell if a coin is silver. Place it under a tissue and if it appears white it is silver. A Nickle type coin will be dark.
Did a few test and sure enough it works. How cool is that!

Yup, my local coin dealer does it on all coins he's not sure of.

I heard Shocker submits his finds, when he sorts while in the bathroom, to a tissue test... but it's a different procedure :lol:
