<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 3264515, member: 90102"]Does it feel slick? Check around the rim, but not at any reeding. Don't run your finger over the surface. You can do a specific gravity to tell for sure. To do that, weigh the piece dry in grams. Then suspend it in water on the balance using something like a light fishing line. Then, divide the dry weight by the wet weight. It should be about 10.5 if it is .999 fine silver. Around 8 would be brass or copper. 7 would be zinc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
