Picked this one up while I was at the Long Beach show

Not bad for modern crap......eh?

I thought this one is copper/nickel but after looking it up, I am now thinking its silver.
It weighs 28.28 grams and I have never seen copper nickel toned like this.

It has a reeded edge. So the question is.......what do I have here?????

I also added this new image

Need a little more info on this coin. I posted my newest findings under the image.
I am thinking this one is silver.

From a casual look at the coin I would suggest that it's not the silver proof. The silver proof is a deep cameo and I would expect it to tone a more blue with less yellow/orange. Also it not old enough to have picked up all that toning without some serious abuse. To me your coin shouldn't be that colour, it looks AT to me.

I picked it out of a guys coin book/holder. I have had the Churchill Crown which toned and that was copper nickel so I know how it looks.
But this one does not has the copper nickel look.....but then again I don't see any frost on the devises either

Here is the Churchill Crown I used to own

The silver proof looks like this

The weight specified in the OP matches the weight of the cupra nickel issue @ 28.3g
