silver
Nickel silver is a type of alloy made from copper, nickel, and zinc, but it does not contain any silver. It is not magnetic because none of the metals it is composed of—copper, nickel, and zinc—are magnetic in their pure form.
Yes, silver is heavier than iron. One atom of iron has a mass of 55.85 amu (atomic mass units). One atom of silver has a mass of 107.87 amu. All of this information is easily found on a periodic table.
A cube of platinum of the same size as a cube of silver will weigh more.
Nickel is a ferromagnetic material and magnetic. So, German silver (called also: nickel silver, argentan) is magnetic.
According to the US Mint, the quarter is heaviest. Current weights: Quarter - 5.67 gm Nickel - 5.00 gm Dime - 2.27 gm
Silver is hard to work with so probably silver
There are several ways to tell the difference between nickel and silver. Silver is much softer than nickel. However, nickel will shine with a cloth while silver needs special cleaners. Finally, silver is more reflective than nickel.
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.
...If it is nickel silver it contains no silver. It is rather an alloy of nickel and copper to create the look of silver.

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.
There is no silver in a 1964 nickel.
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.
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.
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
The nickel was never made with silver, it is made with nickel, hence the name.
