Divide the mass by the volume to calculate its density. If its density isn't the same as an equal amount of pure silver, the coin has some other metal in it.The density test can be fooled if the coin was adulterated with other metals that average out to the same density as silver, however.
If the density AND the diameter are the same, then the coin with double thickness has double the mass.
The density of anything can be found using m/v=d. where m is mass, v is volume, and d is density. therefore you find the volume of the coin (whether it be penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or peso) and then mass the coin on a balance and work the problem out.
Unless you can find both the mass and density of something you cannot find the density.
You cannot since there is not enough information.
The coin's density is about 8.974 g/cm3

Find a caliper and a good scale. Divide the weight in grams by the volume in cubic centimeters. Pure silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm3
