Not good.
Dangerous stuff.
I have two silver-ish plated cents in flips. I may just throw them away.

I've got a bottle of it. Had it for years. I used to play with it all the time. Not as dangerous as you think.
:DI'm not sure how dangerous it is, but I would probably not play with it.:D

Ummm.. Dude.. It's Dangerous.. Mad Hatter is an excellent reason to avoid it..
I also have a few silverish cents. Should I assume they are Mercury? What else could they be plated with?
They are most likely silver.
