<p>[QUOTE="juris klavins, post: 2988547, member: 76693"]Buy some 1/4 x 1/8 Inch Neodymium Rare Earth Disc Magnets N48 or stronger - they're about $10 for a 20 pack - place a magnet at one rim/edge, tilt the (silver) coin, round or bar & let the magnet slide down to the opposite edge - slow slide is good, fast slide is bad, as is no slide at all - silver plated copper will also slide slow, but the dimensions and/or weight of the coin will be off - testing dimensions, weight and magnetic response will go a long way toward detecting fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
