<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 129342, member: 112&quot;]In the ancient coins, it&#039;s not the silver that leeches out - it&#039;s the copper and other impurities. Yes, it can be that to some this will happen - but not to all of them. And even then it only happens to those that are buried and in contact with the soil. If the coins were stored in pottery, as many of them were when they were buried - it doesn&#039;t happen at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes I will agree that other metals will ring like silver, even copper and bronze ring as does gold. But fake &quot;silver&quot; coins do not - unless they are made of silver. But typical fake silver coins are plated or they have a very debased silver content - and those don&#039;t ring.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
