You have the chance to bid on 3 silver coins from the years 1995,96,& 97 from SILVER DOLLAR CITY IN BRANSON MO. These coins were made from silver planchets (blanks) and hand stamped on the grounds of Silver Dollar City-a Theme Park in Branson Mo. After stamping the design on their hand cranked press they were placed in a leather pouch along with a numerically stamped Certificate of Authenticity that the coin was made from .999 silver. Thus you will note the toning of each coin. YOU WILL RECEIVE EACH OF THE COINS, EACH COA AND THE BLACK LEATHER POUCH USED TO HOLD THE COINS. The weight of each coin is .8 ounces so you bidding on 2.4 ounces of pure silver. Since silver is around $40 an ounce I am starting bidding out at less than the 2 ounce value of silver. SHIPPING IS FREE! These are not official US coinage to spend so I did the following ring test and they had the melodious ring you can find in official silver coins. Also Silver Dollar City has a reputation to uphold and I do not think they would jeopardize this selling fake silver coins. One Test Method: Carefully balance the coin flat on the tip of one finger, then use something like a pen to gently strike the edge of the coin. We will hear a melodious ringing sound which should gradually fade away. If the material is copper etc we will get a higher pitched ‘tinny’ sound which doesn’t last as long. Obviously it helps to have something to compare the sounds with. I tried this method with two coins. One was a 1964 with 90% silver content , and the other was a 1980 with 0% silver content . Both coins looks the same (except for the metal color) but there was a very noticeable difference in the ringing sound produced. The method isn’t foolproof, but it doesn’t cost anything and is easy to do.
