Interesting! I think that silver coins are 90% silver and 10% copper. So maybe the fire was able to expose or corrode the copper? But it could be counterfeit
Bucknut Today, 07:04 PMMy hunting partner found this today. It was in a fire but it looks like there's copper under a thin silver coating. What's going on? Counterfeit? Thanks!
OxShoeDrew Today, 06:23 PMSo interesting when you see the cloth on buttons! Much better than working, right?! Was it a cellar hole? Congrats, Roger!
Took yesterday off to go back upstate to hit a few sites I've been working on. Used my 6x10 DD to see what I might have missed with my 10" coil.

Seated copper?
the better counterfeits were copper (cast or stamped) centers and a thin layer of silver plating was applied or even layered . this type of counterfeit
