i think i have mexican silver

[dlvrenna]

Hi there,
Dirtfishin a turn of the century house in Erie Pa i found a round ball with a clasp that looks like it would hang on a necklass or charm bracelet. it is about the diameter of a dime and has a steel ball
inside to make it jingle like alittle bell. I think the little ball is steel because i can make it move inside the ball with a magnet.I've found a feww silver coins' but this ball is whiter than anything i've ever seen.
Inside the little clasp it has some numbers the letters TS and more numbers, with MEXICO underneath. any idea
