<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2780853, member: 66"]About 10 years ago a lot of Chinese fakes were made from a magnetic alloy, but they wised up fairly quickly and most of the chinese fakes for the past 7 or 8 years or more are NOT magnetic. Make them out of German silver (a copper/nickel/zinc alloy), looks a lot like silver, and it is not magnetic. So if you have a coin that is supposed to be silver but a magnet sticks to it, it is fake. If it doesn't stick that does NOT mean that it is real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
