    Just a hint but I think your going to get alot of " we need better pictures "

    These are far away from what you need to be able to make any decission :)

    Hope you're not suspicious anymore. Magnets should have some mild resistance when you pass it over the silver but if they're sticking then you've got a steal (...er steel). I just went and checked my 1953 5 peso coin with same silver content and no sticky.

    Steel (Iron) sticks to magnets, these silver coins did not contain any magnetic materials
