How do I tell if a 2003-S is silver? apparently 2 million clad were made and 1 million silver.

| If that doesn't help, drop it on the table and hear the distinctive sound of silver. |

| I would imagine they have different weights so a digital scale should tell too. |

Cut it in half....

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

I've been lucky enough to find one of the newer 90%'ers while sorting.
There is no doubt about it when you find one, no Cu edge stripe at all. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

That stinks. For the record here are the weights:
2003-S copper nickel 5.67 grams (same as regular business strikes)
2003-S silver 6.25 grams (same as pre-1965 silver quarters)
