<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1727740, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with Blaubart. Usually its a pass/fail. I am not a chemist/sound engineer, but I believe the ring test is testing the fact silver will ring, (but will be variable based upon composition and manufacture), but alloys designed to mimic the SG of silver do not have this property.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is how its &quot;always been&quot;. However, I am not positive better alloys could not be constructed that would ring, so for silver I stick with recognizable coins, items I can identify as correct without having to wonder about the metal content. I leave silver rounds and bars to others, and only buy coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
