<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1325137, member: 112"]Like I said in post #25 - if you're testing culls (junk silver), have at it. But to be honest, since I've never seen that magnet test before, never heard of it before, have no idea who dreamed it up - I have no idea if it actually works or not. Forgive me, but I am more than a bit hesitant to accept some video on YouTube as proof.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to what he can do. Well, like Chris said, learn about coins is one way. Another is to only buy from trusted and respected dealers - which is what everyone should be doing to begin with. Then you don't have to worry about it. For should a coin from them ever be proven fake they will stand behind it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also matters as to what a buyer is trying to do - why he is buying the coins to begin with. There really is no reason to buy junk silver other than the play on silver itself. And if you want to own silver, then buy silver and forget about buying junk silver coins.
