<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1130763, member: 26302&quot;]I agree probably not fakes. If you know the weight is right, get the dimensions. By doing this you are effectively doing a sg test, since if the weight and dimensions are right, the alloy has to be equal to silver. This is the problem with sg. Everyone thinks it proves something, all it proves is that the alloy is the same weight as silver, NOT that it is silver. Now I would doubt someone would go through all of that trouble for maple leafs, I am just throwing that out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>For bullion, there is no PROOF unless a coin or bar is cut open and the eitire metal tested. Look at the fake gold bars found in China.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: To the OP, how about going to another dealer and testing the &quot;ring&quot; of his silver maples? Lots of things can affect ring, it could be different planchet preparation and striking techniques used by the different mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
