Just ran across this on Heritage where it was speculated to be silver.

Anyone know where this is now?

Ref: https://coins.ha.com/itm/-/a/1265-8329.s

This is also cataloged as SH 2-45 now.

    Whenever I see these theye are called "White Metal" - as is in this auction you post. White metal to me is not ag.

    It states in the heading and the description "White metal (tin)"
    I don't see where it mentions silver.

    It's a 2 piece lot. The other piece is white metal.

    The piece I posted is mentioned as "HK-27b, Uncertified. Probably silver" in the lot description as quoted above. HK-27b is silver.

    Here are some highlights from the lot:
