[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3717431, member: 112"]True. Also true, but then neither will anything else, that is a non-destructive test. Weight, even a specific gravity test will not prove the coin has the correct silver composition as both weight and composition can be faked with the proper alloys. As for the magnet and meter - ehhh, I dunno. Probably work most of the time, but I suspect it could probably be beat too. But like I said, I dunno. Joy - about 95% of the time, the tissue test will tell you what you need to know.[/QUOTE]
