A Silver Round?

Shadow93

How do I find out if a coin I have is a silver round. I know it's supposed to say silver somewhere on it. It doesn't. It looks silver but I know that can be deceiving too. It even sounds silver when I bang it on the floor. It's a morgan dollar silver round with the date 1879 on it. The back says copy below with a number AB0715. I have 3 of them. I don't have the testing thing to test. I scratched it and it don't look copper when I do. Thanks. Appreciate any help to my question.

Does yours look like this?

yes, I'd assume they are copper then. Thanks. I know it must say silver somewhere. Appreciate your response

That one is offered by NCM, a prolific maker of silver plated clad copies.

Often times a silver round will say something like "One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver":

It also could be on of their "100 mills .999 Silver" Junk.

You're giving them too much credit. That one is down to 71 mills

They still look nice even if they are junk. Thanks Zoins for your response
