<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3558279, member: 99642&quot;]My first tell for a fake is the &quot;smoky gray&quot; color, which this coin has. </p><p><br /></p><p>No offense to the OP , but the &quot;passed down from grandpa&quot; story is always a red flag for me.</p><p>Every collectible silver coin that I had a chance to test, that had a &quot;grandpa&quot; story attached to it, turned out to be fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Find a Gold and Silver buyer, or pawnshop, or jewelry store that has an XRF gun and have them shoot it. The results will give you the exact metal composition of all metals in the coin, and their relative percentages.</p><p>This is what I do and it works every time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I am impressed and intrigued by that ping test video. I&#039;ve always known that silver coins &quot;ring&quot; but that is the first time I&#039;ve seen them balanced on a finger and struck, to produce such a full ring.&nbsp; I will be practising that.</p><p>Is anyone else worried about damage to the rim of the coins from doing that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
