<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1777212, member: 37498&quot;]But when silver bullion fails the magnet test, it fails it spectacularly! If a .999 silver round sticks to the magnet, or if the magnet has no effect on it, then you KNOW it is fake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of couse a magnet test should not be the only test you do, because copper behaves similarly to silver around a magnet. If you have a silver plated copper coin, it will do a reasonably good job of passing a magnet test, but they will fail a weight + dimensions or a specific gravity test. (Reasonably good as in it will not stick to the magnet, and the magnet will have some pull on it, but if you send it down a magnet slide together with a genuine sample, they will usually slide at different speeds since they have different weights and create a different inductance with the magnet(s).)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
