<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1708493, member: 37498&quot;]Another key to the magnet test is how quickly the coin slides across the magnet(s).&nbsp; If you have a known good sample of a silver bullion coin and a silver coin of the same type to be tested, a genuine coin will not only not stick to the magnet, and be slowed by the magnet, but they will both slide down at the same speed.&nbsp; If you put the good coin on the slide and then slide the subject coin after it, it should not catch up to the coin in front of it, or fall behind.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only counterfeit coins you&#039;ll find that can pass this test are high dollar value conditional rarities, since they&#039;re likely made from the same silver alloy, possibly from a coin of the same type but a different date and/or mint mark.&nbsp; If that&#039;s the case, you wouldn&#039;t be sliding those down a magnetic slide because you wouldn&#039;t want hairline scratches, or they&#039;d be in a slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
