The main solute in nickel silver is copper, which is mixed with nickel and zinc to create the alloy. Copper is added to improve strength and corrosion resistance, while nickel provides a silvery color and zinc helps with formability and malleability.
The solvent in a nickel coin is the metal nickel itself, while the solute would be any impurities or other metals present in the alloy. Nickel coins are typically composed of a mixture of nickel, copper, and other metals.
No, nickel silver and sterling silver are not the same value. Sterling silver is a precious metal composed of 92.5% silver, while nickel silver is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc that does not contain any silver. Sterling silver is typically more valuable than nickel silver.
No, nickel is an element. Silver is another element. Neither are alloys, silver only contains silver, nickel only contains nickel. "German silver", which is not actually silver, does contain nickel. It's a silver-colored alloy of nickel, copper and zinc.
Not even close, Nickel "silver" has no silver and is a copper alloy. It simply looks slightly like silver. Items might be silver plated though. Nickel silver, also called German silver, is an alloy of approximately 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc; it doesn't contain any silver. The nickel gives it a shiny, silver appearance.
Silver is a solute, not a solvent. A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution, while a solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In the case of silver being dissolved in a solution, it would be considered the solute.

...If it is nickel silver it contains no silver. It is rather an alloy of nickel and copper to create the look of silver.

In a silver-gold alloy, silver is the solvent and gold is the solute. Silver acts as the base in which gold is dissolved.
There is no silver in a 1964 nickel.
EPCA is silver-plated nickel silver. Nickel Silver is a copper alloy (CA) mainly that is mixed in varied amounts of nickel and zinc. The higher the nickel content, the higher the quality of the nickel silver. Nickel Silver is also referred to as German Silver, Paktong, or Alpaca Silver (Mexican Surname). Nickel Silver is a highly stable and robust alloy composed of mixed metals with the formulation of 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc but does vary to some degree based on the manufacturing unit.
No, the 1959 nickel is not made of silver. Nickels minted in 1959 and thereafter are composed of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper and 25% nickel). Silver was phased out of the composition in 1946.
