in order to tell for sure, you would need to take it to a coin specialist. most coins now are a mix of zinc and copper. if your coin truly is silver, it is probably very very old and worth a good amount of money.
I think you would have to be a physicist to do that. It would be easier to identify the coin by nation of origin, date and denomination, and a coin guide book will help do this, and the book will tell you what metal the coin is made from.
Silver dimes, quarters, and half-dollars sound different when dropped than their modern counterparts. Also, if you look at the sides, you will not see any copper on a silver coin, but you will on a modern coin. Another way is to look at the date on the coin.If you are ok with scraping the coin on a testing stone, there is an acid test kit you can get to be sure it's silver.Another trick I've found is to put your coin, and another coin that you know is silver, under a sheet of tissue paper. If both coins "shine through" the tissue equally, then your coin is likely silver. If yours seems dull or dark next to the silver one, then it is likely NOT silver.DanUser:WorkingMan
take your coin to your local coin shop (not pawn shop) For US coins: > dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver > $1 coins dated 1935 and earlier are also 90% silver > half dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver > nickels dated 1942-45 with a large mint mark are 35% silver (NO other nickels have silver!) For Canadian coins: > dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars dated 1967 and earlier are 80% silver > some 1968 coins are 50% silver
You can use a magnet to check if a silver dollar is real - real silver is not magnetic, so if the coin is attracted to the magnet, it is not silver. You can also examine the coin for any seams or irregularities in the design that may indicate it is a counterfeit. Finally, have the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist or coin grading service for a conclusive evaluation.

The coin's value depends on the current price of silver. Dimes with 90 percent silver are worth 0.07 times the price of one troy oz. of silver. Quarters would be 0.18 times the price of silver. Half dollars would be 0.36 times the price of silver. Can't tell if your coin has a large percentage of silver? Is it a dime, quarter, half or dollar dated 1964 or earlier? If yes, then it probably is mostly silver. Still not sure? Take a modern coin and drop it. Now drop your old coin. Is the sound different? The old coin should sound more ringing if it is silver. This was written by a sixth grader. Can you tell? Ps. I know I asked too many questions.
One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.
Coin silver Selmer's are stamped on the main body "Coin Silver" Matching serial numbers on all pieces prove they are all solid silver.
The best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer.
No, because old gold coins didn't contain any silver.
Jewelers and coin dealers buy gold and silver.

No general circulation British coin contains any silver. If you have any modern British coin with a silver content, it will say so on the packaging it was sold in. This will include the percentage of silver and very possibly, a "certificate of authenticity".

The color is different. The silver is more reflective. If you cover the coin with a Kleenex you can barely see the CN coin but the silver one shows through.
If it is a "Silver" coin, it will say so on the case it came in.
