If it hasn't tarnished in over a year in the case, then it likely isn't silver. Having said that, countless old 45s have been stripped and nickel plated with gold cooterments. Texas lawmen loved them and they used to be thick here. So just make double sure it's not such an old redo. In these parts, $800 for such a thing would be around $300 too much.
