<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 1790652, member: 53130&quot;]I hate to say it, but while the ring test is still a practical way to identify silver coins, it&#039;s not without fault. Invest in a small jewelry scale and measure the exact weight of the coin. You&#039;re correct that the Maple Leaf is a smaller coin than the ASE. I hate to sound naive, but silver is barely above $20/oz and Maple Leaf coins are by no means numismatically rare. The likelihood of this being fake is not great, particularly if you bought it from a reputable dealer. That said, if the dimensions are correct and it weight&#039;s 1 oz or 31.1 grams, you likely have a silver coin, regardless of the noise you get. And if you don&#039;t care about the numismatic value, just acid test it. Maybe to the edge of the coin if you can make out the test, or a non-field area to minimize blotching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
