If you examine a genuine coin and a fake coin under a 10X loupe, you will soon learn to recognize the differences (as subtle as they may be).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since the OP only paid about seven bucks over melt (as silver continues to spiral downward), one would have to assume that the coins are &quot;junk silver&quot;, with most probably grading in the VG range. A trip down the slide won&#039;t hurt these much. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks is also in order to the OP for posting the video of the &quot;slide test&quot;.
