<p>[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 2668125, member: 74343"]Regarding a magnet test, this is how I do it: now it isnt always definitive, but I use a neodymium magnet that is 1"x1"x4". It is very strong and a little dangerous around iron lol. I set the coin on one one side of the magnet and tilt it slightly until the coin slides down the length of the magnet. Once the coin reaches the end of the magnet and is about to fall it "sticks" slightly to the end of the magnet just before falling off. If it hesitates like this than it is probably a real coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a magnet is strong enough the silver coin will react somewhat like this:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]593452[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that is a copper pipe but silver and gold will react kinda the same way.</p><p> If you want to do magnet tests on something other than 1943 cents, you will need a really strong magnet, kitchen magnets wont do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
