<p>[QUOTE=&quot;daveydempsey, post: 2766239, member: 29458&quot;]I was at an auction last year and saw a 1867 Hong Kong dollar which should be 90% silver, it looked suspect, I performed the rare earth magnet test on it in front of the auctioneer, the magnet slid off like it was on a frozen lake.</p><p>It was a fake with no silver content.</p><p>I had a sterling silver Crown in my pocket that is used as a test piece, the magnet slid off very slowly as it should on a genuine silver coin.</p><p>The auctioneer was so impressed he cancelled the auction&nbsp; and gave me the fake to take away.</p><p>That was a good enough test for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]637013[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
