<p>[QUOTE=&quot;motochris, post: 1109928, member: 29432&quot;]Hi, total newbie here. I picked up some silver junk coins the other day, and also got this 16 avdp ounce round. Now that I&#039;m looking at it..... don&#039;t pure silver products either say &quot;fine&quot; or &quot;Pure&quot; silver? Can they be all silver without actually saying &quot;fine&quot; or &quot;pure&quot;?</p><p>This one says .999 silver, but a post I saw on Ebay about fakes said there can be copper items plated in .999 silver, (&quot;<i>Many One pound coins are really one pound of copper plated with .999 fine silver.They often have a serial number on the side of the coin. They are marked ONE POUND on the reverse. These coins do weight one pound and will weight in at 454 grams.&quot;)</i></p><p>...so I&#039;m wondering what I have here.... I can&#039;t find much on this exact item, other than an EBAY listing for one like it from last year.</p><p>I got it from our local (and only) coin shop. It was sold as all silver, and I don&#039;t think the people at the shop would knowingly sell something other than that. Am I just being paranoid after reading that Ebay warning?</p><p>Any help appreciated.</p><p><a href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdp.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdp.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdp.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdpa.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdpa.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/269162/16avdpa.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
