Hello,

The first one is silver clad Copper-nickel (18.5% Silver content). The second one is silver .510.
At first look they seem to be identical, but you have to take a look at the rim. If the rim is plain silver-colored, it's a .510, if the rim is quite mixing silver color and copper-nickel color, it's a plated one.

I saw 5 coins, some looked like half of width is more silvery colour.

​Then they were plated. The plated version is the one usually seen.
